The Reunion Lunch…

A group of chaps, all aged 40, discussed where they should meet for lunch.   Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons because the waitresses had big breasts and wore mini-skirts.

Ten years later, at age 50, the friends once again discussed where they should meet for lunch.   Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons because the food and service was good and the beer was excellent.

Ten years later, at age 60, the friends again discussed where they should meet for lunch.   Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons because they could dine in peace and quiet and it was good value for money.

Ten years later, at age 70, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch.   Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons because the restaurant was wheelchair accessible and had a toilet for the disabled.

Ten years later, at age 80, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch.   Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons because they had never been there before.
