Reflections on Aging *Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty, even though everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out. *There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory, the other two I forget. *You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. *Middle age is when work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work. *Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Isn't that the worst time for a guy to get those odds? *You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you. *Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired. *By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere. *Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends and have begun to grow in the middle. *A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor instead of by the police. *Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier. *You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise. *Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you. *The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress. *You're getting old when getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot. *You're getting old when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started. *You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling and you didn't do anything the night before. *The cardiologist's diet: if it tastes good, spit it out. *It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything. *You know you're getting old when you stop buying green bananas. *Last Will and Testament: Being of sound mind, I spent all my money. |
