ON GETTIN OLD


* Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.


* Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.


* The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.


* Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want to people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.


* How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?


* When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.


* You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.


* One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.


* One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.


* Ahh, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.


* Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.


* If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.


* First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper, then... Oh, my goodness, you forgot to pull your zipper down!


* If you jog in a jogging suit, lounge in lounging pajamas, and smoke in a smoking jacket, WHY would anyone want to wear a windbreaker??


And best of all...


* I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
