You Know You're Getting Old...

Eichhörnchen · 04-15-15, 10:40 AM

We can't all be in such great shape as Nobby Penfold, and the idea for this thread arose when I returned just now from my daily hypertension-lowering bike ride: I came in, aimed an imaginary six-gun at my wife, as I often do, then quickly decided instead that I'd better go to the toilet.

How do you members over 50 know you're near or past your sell-by date, apart from having to sit down to get your socks on? I'd prefer real personal ones, rather than the well-known platitudes.

I knew... the first time nice a young bird smiled at me, not with the come-hither expression of former times, but instead like she would a sick pet.

When the local bordello restricts your selection only to those ladies who know CPR and bills extra for the defibrillator to be standing by!

(^thanks Donna!)

Polite children address you as "Sir"

You look in the mirror one day and see your dad staring back at you.

For all of our mocking young whippersnappers...

Like you we were and like us you'll be.
Contemplate that, I dare you.

When your ball hair starts to get as silver as the hair on your head
