Pat Riot Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Well, I guess if you saw this earlier you'd realize I got this in an email from a friend. DOH! I'm getting to be that age: I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walks over to me and asks, "What brings you in today?" I looked at her, and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond. Am I getting to be that age? I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So I'm wearing my garage door opener. I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it. I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age and calling it “'Pumping Rust." When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!" Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance.' The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends. *The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.* Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.⛄ The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.. Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words ' The' and ' IRS ' together it spells 'Theirs...' Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about age and start bragging about it.* Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.* Edited January 28, 2017 by Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Wheeler Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I doubt that all those folks really want their emails listed on a public forum. You might want to edit them out of your original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I don't think I'll ever forget the time my First Sergeant was talking about a Master Sergeant in our unit. "He provided far side security for Moses at the Red Sea." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yep Forty. That comes from the first cavemen who took a rock for pounding and added handle to make an axe. The latest version is the selfie stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
