You Know You're Getting Old... - Page 2

My first indicator was, when in a public place, I started seeing two nice looking ladies approach. As they got closer, I would realize they were mom and daughter. A later indicator was in the same situation, I would prefer the older lady over the younger. Now it's just my knees screaming at me going up and down stairs.

When you start to feel the aches and pains in various joints and noticeably slow down.

When going to the garage to get beer stocks for the fridge is an irritable chore in itself.

When you give serious consideration to making the rear area of the house maintenance free at a considerable cost/expense.

My forgetter's getting better
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke.

For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Often times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "who was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

P.S. Send this to everyone you know . . . because I don't remember who sent it to me!

I get this, too! Watching a movie, and all the guys out there are supposed to be lusting after the teen daughter and I'm thinking: "Are they kidding? Just look at the mother!"

You know when your getting old when you see a naked busty women saying lets do it and you turn around and say I'm shagged out and need some sleep.

I don't know. There's always a bright side.

I used to guard a large SF senior facility with 100+ Alzheimer patients meandering aimlessly in just their hospital smocks...and Depends...all still trying to get 'lucky'...and pulling the fire alarms. I put my mom in a home straightaway when, on my visit to inspect, she turned to me and asked "Do I know your mother?"...

I swear this is true. My father-in-law once said to us there was this programme on the radio that evening which he really didn't want to miss: it was about memory-loss. He forgot to tune in and missed it.

You know you are old when "shooting up" involves the enema bag

When your wife is looking like an old bag and she's 5 years younger than you are.

Today's pop music is bloody awful what a load of dribble it is.

In my day....

A few years ago, I ran in to a guy I want to Tech School with. The first thing I thought was "man, he looks old!" Then I realized we were the same age.

When you go to a disco and somebody offers you a chair.
