Sexual confusion.

One of our older residents received a questionnaire from the council regarding satisfaction with council services. In tune with the spirit of the times the questionnaire contained a question regarding recipients sexual orientation. When a friend asked the elderly gent how he had answered the question regarding sexual orientation the elderly chap replied he had ticked the box marked christian. After being informed that this was in fact the religion category he was asked if he was gay, bisexual or heretosexual. Having ruled out the first two categories after they were explained to him the old chap decided that given his sexual history he was indeed, heretosexual the only problem being that he couldnt spell the word let alone really tell you what it meant.

We live in very confusing times for the elderly who never before had to think about describing their sexual proclivities for officialdom unless they engaged in activities that led them to fall foul of the law.
