Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I'm so old, I get nostalgic when I see neolithic cave paintings. I know I'm old when I get a phone call at 10:00 a.m., and they say: "did I wake you?" The older I get, the earlier it gets late. I told my doctor I wanted to stop aging. He gave me a gun. My wife spends more time wondering what I am thinking, than I spend thinking. Time waits for no man. Time is obviously a woman. I love older women, because they are used to life's disappointments...so...they are ready for me. I am at the age that, when I am faced with two temptations, I choose the one that gets me home by 9 o'clock. When you're young, embarrassment is forgetting to zip up your fly. For me, it is forgetting to unzip it. As I get to be more and more of a geezer, I remember all the people I have lost, along the way. Then I think to myself, perhaps a tour guide was not the best career I could have chosen When you are young, you make a lot of noise having fun. At my age, I make even more noise just bending over. As I get older, I find I am using my glasses more. When I was young, I just drank out of the bottle. I realized that I was getting old, when I saw a young woman, walking into the grocery store, and I thought to myself...I wonder what her mother looks like. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It's kind of a drag, actually. I always thought an exception would be made in my case..... But it has many compensations, and there are much worse things. I have adult grandchildren, with whom I've hiked, skied, camped, traveled, and more. And we have one great-grandchild with two on the way. Not to mention 55 years of marriage soon, God willing. Couldn't have happened if I didn't get old! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc X Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I was told the easiest way to tell if you're old is to fall down. If everyone laughs, you aren't old. If everyone comes running to help, you're old. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a shoot last year and dropped a couple loaded rounds by my cart while I was filling my loading block. I was down on my knees (bad back, can't bend that far) when another shooter walked by. He asked, "Praying Doc?" I quickly answered, "Yeah, praying I can get up!" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
