Certainly when I was younger I stereotyped a lot of seniors, but now that I am a senior I want to clarify some things for younger generations:
– Occasionally I get up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and think, “That can’t be accurate.”
– My mind sometimes is like an Internet browser. There are 10 tabs open, three of which are frozen, and I have no idea where the music is coming from.
– Age is just a number – just like jail is just a room.
– I miss the 80s when bread was still good for you, and no one knew what kale was.
– I asked my wife if I was the only one she had been with. She said, “Yes, all the others had been nines and tens.”
– Most people don’t think I’m as old as I am until they hear me trying to stand up.
– As I watch this generation try to rewrite history, one thing I’m sure of is it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.
– Getting older is just one body part after another saying, “Ha ha, you think that’s bad, just watch this.”
– I really don’t mind getting older, but my body is taking it badly.
– Now that I’m older, I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do, it’s because I missed my exit.
Some wisdom from celebrities:
Phyllis Diller:
– “Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age – as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.”
– “I’m at an age when my back goes out more than I do!”
George Burns:
– “At my age, flowers scare me.”
– “Old age is when you resent the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated because there are fewer articles to read.”
– “He’s so old that when he orders a three-minute egg, they ask for the money up front.”
– “An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.” – Agatha Christie
“When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of algebra.” – Will Rogers
“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.” – Woody Allen
“I’ve learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.” – Andy Rooney
“There is only one cure for grey hair. A Frenchman invented it. It is called the guillotine.” – P.G. Wodehouse
“My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands and two of them were just napping.” – Rita Rudner
“I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.” – Rodney Dangerfield
“A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, ‘At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas’.” – Claude Pepper
“You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.” – Bob Hope
“So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.” – George Carlin
I’m so old that:
-I have dialed a rotary phone that didn’t have an answering machine.
-I have recorded a song I loved off a transistor radio onto a tape recorder.
-I watched black and white TV with less than 10 channels, and the TV had aluminum foil on the tips of the rabbit ear antenna.
-I have taken a long walk without counting the steps.
-I have eaten food that I never took pictures of.
