Yes people over 60 really are old and pathetic aren't they.

Of couse David Bowie is now 64, Sean Connery is now 80, Ranulph Fiennes is 67 and got to the top of Mount Everest in 2009, Nicolas Sarkozy is nealry 60 (56 actually) and president of France.

Plenty of other examples.

So suggest you grow up and think again about stupid ageist jokes.

[jno]

don't forget 74-year-old Berlusconi, VHG! An example to us all.

well I'm over 60 and found some of them funny -

[piggynose]

a 72 year old man runs around 10 miles every sunday in our running club, plus 2 fridays a month also.

[carmalee]

Great piggynose and I regulary ride and drive horses, swim and hike and am well, well into my sixties but I still found some of them funn and not at all offensive. I also appreciate that others may not but there ya go - we're all different. :-)

[Old_Geezer]

Gosh, he must be miles away by now then !

[notasyoungasiwas]

Oh get over yourselves, it was meant to be funny and was.

[daftgrandad]

Another gem jem.
As a man over 60 I cannot possibly see how anyone can take offence at this.
Lets be honest most of us can relate to most of them.Still c,est la vie.

[Jemisa]

It seems its the UNDER 60s that are complaining about the jokes being ageist, trying to convince themselves they are not going to be "One of those"
While us over 60 and indeed over 70 treated them as jokes to smile about, & we've been there done that & come out the other side.

Having seen your post just before I answered I imagine about my age, as I've just had most of a bottle of wine at present about 16. Tomorrow morning who knows??. Do you like my racist joke.It's the only one I remember.

[micmak]

Jem, who know's or even cares I'm over 60 just, and I found some of them funny.

[Jemisa]

Thankyou micmak.

Giveup, I fell out of my cradle laughing at that racist joke when Queen Victoria was born. You go careful now with that wine you don't want to spend another night in the cells do you.?
