When you put the sugar in the fridge and the
lettuce in the cupboard,

and use conditioner to wash your hair cos you
cant read the label,and wonder why there is no
lather

and when climbing stairs is like a trek in the
alps

When you put conditioner on your hair first because you can't wear your glasses in the shower.

You know you're getting old when:

The Pope is 5 years younger than you are.
Events that you think happened only yesterday are being taught in school history lessons.
Your toy-boy has a zimmer frame

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

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

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

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

Your children begin to look middle-aged

A fortune teller offers to read your face

You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there


I was put on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever :-))

What do old men and old records have in common.
They both scratch a lot.

A man is getting old when the gleam in his eye is merely the sun reflecting in his glasses.

A sign of old age is when you feel like the morning after the night before --and you haven't been anywhere.
