Some longer jokes for retirement speeches:

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch. "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look", she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?" "I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day", he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise." "That's amazing", the woman said. "How old are you?" "Twenty-six", he said.

The boss is finally old enough to retire from the company. On his last day of work, he ordered a farewell party for himself. The boss wanted everyone to express their good feeling about him by writing on the farewell card, so later he could remember how his staff 'miss' him. Most people are writing standard phrases like, "Without you, the company will never be the same" We will always remember you" etc. Obviously the boss was not satisfied. "I need something from the bottom of your heart, something really touching, you know. Okay, John, you have been working with me for the last 20 years. You are my best staff. I am retiring now. What do you have to say?" Slowly but firmly, John wrote, "The best news in 20 years."
