You know your old when:

Arrow · #1 05-04-2002, 02:12 PM

You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter
who walks into the room.

You buy a compass for the dash of your car.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

Your best friend is dating someone half their age and isn't breaking any laws.

You call Olan Mills before they call you.

Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.

You sing along with the elevator music.

You would rather go to work than stay home sick.

You constantly talk about the price of gasoline.

You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

You make an appointment to see the dentist.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

Neighbors borrow your tools.

People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you ?"

You answer a question with, "because I said so!"

You send money to PBS.

The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.

You take a metal detector to the beach.

You wear black socks with sandals.

You know what the word "equity" means.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to
watch television.

You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

You get into a heated argument about pension plans.

You got cable for the weather channel.

You can go bowling without drinking.

You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

You feel like the night after, and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.

You get winded playing chess.

Your children begin to look middle aged.

You're still chasing women but can't remember why.

A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge.

You walk with your head high trying to get used to your bifocals.

Your favorite part of the newspaper is "25 Years Ago Today..."

You turn out the light for economic reasons rather than romantic ones.

Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

You regret all those mistakes resisting temptation.

Dialing long distance wears you out.

The best part of your day is over when your alarm clock goes off.

You burn the midnight oil until 9 pm.

Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you watch a pretty girl go by.

The little grey haired lady you help across the street is your wife.

You have too much room in the house and not enough room in the medicine cabinet.

You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.

Ouch Arrow, ouch. Now where the heck did I leave my hearing aids and walker? Damn, I hate it when that happens. When I figure out where I parked my Harley I just may go for a ride, maybe. But I have to find that beast first. Let?s see now, were could I have put that?.ah, what was I talking about?

Fair seas, Bill

Scamp I know. Scary "ain't" it? There are a couple of things that would be really, really useful to me. A beeper to attach to my keys so I could just hit a button on a remote and find them. Also if I could use the same remote to beep for my glasses that are on top of my head most of the time as I only use them for reading and sometime computer work if I am really really tired. (Like right now). The only problem is keeping track of the remote but then again maybe I could get another..oh never mind we could go on for days like this..

My favorite on the list: You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.

I have entered the age of AIDS. Now when I go to bed I need a 12x12 inch spot for my hearing aids, chewing aids and seeing aids. Scares me what will give out next ! On the other hand last Fri night went to the Legion with my two bros and woke up in the goat shed with 4 goats - they ain't that good looking close up.

Wait a minute, wait just a damn minute. "Can go without sex..." Is anyone serious?
No wait, that must mean I'm not old!

Thanks Arrow, you made my day.

Stay healthy, stay active, stay frisky,
Andy

An elderly woman was standing on the deck of a cruise ship, hanging onto her hat in the high wind. A gentleman approached her and said, "Excuse me, ma'am, I don't wish to be forward, but your dress is flying up in this heavy wind."

"I know," says the old woman, "but I need both hands to hang onto my hat."

"But surely you must realize," says the man, "your privates are exposed!"

"Sonny," says the woman,"anything you see is 85 years old - I just bought this hat yesterday!"
