I am so old I don't even buy green bananas anymore!

I knew I was getting older when 50 and 60 year old women started looking very good to me.

I'm old enough to where my memory is getting bad. Hell, I can forget what mood I'm in ! Rain Man

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh.....it is all true...

Perks of reaching 50

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

04. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

07. Things you buy now won't wear out.

08. You can eat supper at 4 pm.

09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

13. You sing along with elevator music.

14. Your eyes won't get much worse.

15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off .

16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Growing Old Is Mandatory.
Growing Up Is Optional

You start using a calendar to tell time.

You know your old when you go to the bathroom at 8:00 A.M. every day, and you don't really get out of bed till 9:00 A.M.

I don't know, but I have been told that the first 100 years are the hardest. So, things should start getting better soon.
