BREAKING! Missing senior found, sent back to Mississippi

Friends were relieved when John McCain was spotted on this security camera on Thursday night.


John McCain will attend the debate in Mississippi tonight. Ever since his disappearance from the presidential campaign on Wednesday afternoon, family and friends were pleading for the missing 72-year-old to come home, phone home or just do Letterman.
McCain had told friends he was leaving for "DC" to "save the economy." He was later spotted wandering aimlessly through a Katie Couric interview at CBS.
We don't know where you went, Grampa John, but we're glad you're back. We love you, no matter what!

8. No, this bites too cruelly ... but some of us can appreciate the dark humor in it.

My beloved late dad fully succumbed "on a mental reality level" to Alzheimer's in his early 80s although he was still strikingly sturdy tall (6'4") and Gregory Peck-like handsome. We had to scold the Veteran's Hospital because he kept leaving the SECURE area. They actually lost him several times resulting in us rushing to the hospital to help look for him. One worker said in complete frustration, "Mr X looks so GOOD, he just leaves when other visitors leave."

Gosh, I'm crying now but it's also kind of sweet to know he "looked so good." :shrug:

15. Yes, certainly Alzheimer's is no laughing matter.
Sure didn't intend to stir up personal feelings about such a cruel disease.

Your dad looked like Gregory Peck?! Wow...he is actually one of my favorite actors. I loved his looks, his height, & his voice!

:hug:

He could have wandered off somewhere and registered as a Democrat.

They should put a bell on him.
