What do you get if you cross a cow with an octopus?
A visit from the Ethics Committee and immediate withdrawal of your funding.

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft’s electronic navigation and communications equipment.
Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter’s position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said “WHERE AM I?” in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said “YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.”
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
“I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.”

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
The gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!

Sixties plus...It's not all so bad
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 3. No one expects you to run into a burning building. 4. People call at 9 PM and ask, 'Did I wake you?' 5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 7. Things you buy now won't wear out. 8. You can eat dinner at 4 P.M. 9. You can live without sex but not without glasses. 10. You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations. 11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 12. You have a party and the neighbours don't even realise it.

That reminded me of Jo Brand saying "I knew I was old when my mum bought me a cardigan for Christmas...I thought it was quite nice actually..." 😁

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife went in for counselling, When asked what the problem was the wife went into a tirade listing many problems as to what was causing their marriage to flounder. After an hour telling of her troubles the therapist got up, walked around his desk and asked the wife to stand up. He then threw his arms around her and gave her a long lingering kiss. Her husband stood and watched. The woman sat down in a daze., The therapist said to the husband "That is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The man said "Well I can drop her off Mondays and Wednesdays but on Fridays I play golf"

Not really a joke, but I do like to think it may have been deliberate, and even more that it might have been inadvertent...
Anyway, from the Wiki entry on Patricia Cornwell:

I saw my ex-boyfriend on the other side of the museum. I never spoke to him. There was too much history between us.

I made a shirt covered in drawing pins since I wanted to look sharp, but I just looked tacky.
