Most people approach retirement with a gloomy countenance. They approach retirement as if it is giving into the hands of fate and the decay of the body. Therefore, it is important to help the retiree realize that retirement is something to be welcomed because it is an inevitable stage in ones life. But how can you do that? Its simple: poke fun at retirement. Retirement jokes, like the ones made in speeches are popular. However, speeches tend to become emotional to the point that everyone in the room is in a state of gloom and sympathy. But one can raise the bar with retirement jokes (without insulting the retiree, of course).
Examples: In addition to speaking about the wonderful times the speaker has shared with the retiree, he/she can add something that will lighten up the atmosphere. One could give a headstone slab, with the inscription For Future Use on it. If you're a friend, you may also make a joke by calling the retiree granddad or grandfather whenever the retiree speaks to you, as in "OK, granddad". This can also help lighten the atmosphere. But dont go over the top, of course.
Another joke that could help is a wig in an unusual color like pink, green or purple. A follow up gag to that jocularity might be that he might require a wig in the very near future. If he declines it, say: Okay, then wear a paper bag instead when you do go bald. Always be prepared for when a joke fails. So keep those backup jokes ready! Believe it or not, some agencies write and sell personalized retirement speeches with witty jokes built in after knowing the personality and interests of the retiree. These companies usually add jokes about the retirees profession. If one cannot find enough retirement jokes, a visit to a bookshop could help a great deal.
There are joke books that cover a wide range of topics, only one of which is retirement. A little search on this or that will help inspire the reader if he/she isnt a natural comedian. These may also be great retirement gifts as well, helping the retiree have a good laugh on one of those boring Monday afternoons. There are also a lot of websites on the net that provide a lot of jokes and free retirement e-books. The e-books that are available range from the 100 Best Things Said about Retirement to Retirement Wisdom You Wont Get from your Bank Manager.
Conclusion: One has a lot of leeway when one is telling jokes at a retirement party. If you know someone who is coming near to retirement, you can first send an email or two which has retirement quotes like retirement is when everyday is Saturday and retirement: goodbye tension, hello pension!. It is a good gesture and gives the sense that you know what the future retiree is going through.
Again, keep the retiree (future or not) relaxed as much as you can. Make him/her think about retirement with a smile and not with a sigh as much as you can. And when the retirement party does come, adopt the same light-hearted approach, telling jokes here and there and doing some gags like the ones mentioned above. Not only will the retiree be less wary about retirement, he/she will focus more on the people who kept him happy on that bitter-sweet day, especially the one who gave him that weird pink wig.
