Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 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.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 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!

Doc X Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 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. 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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
