You know when you are getting old when........!

[Wak]

You know you're getting old when:

You sink your teeth in a steak and they stay there.
You get your hearing aid mixed up with the suppository.
A fortune teller offers to read your face.
Every other statement begins with " In my day ".
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
You finally get your head together and your body starts to fall apart.
When you and your teeth don't sleep together.
When happy hour is a nap.
When dancing is something you do on your way to the bathroom 10 times a day.
You need glasses to find your glasses.
You can live without sex but not without glasses.
When your body is no longer capable of doing the things your mind is still certain it can.
When you bend over to tie your shoe, you look around to see what else you can do since you're already down there.

I got asked yesyerday what I wanted to do for my 40th.... its' 2.5 years away yet, c'mon!!!


Wak, I have to admit to looking at anti wrinkle creams for the over 50s - I figured I could get a good 10 years or so head start!

zzxxee, looking down is just what I don't do when going downstairs as I can't see the steps even with bifocals and the blurriness makes me dizzy. Easier to look straight ahead and let my feet find the step. (And of course the person with the fuller figure can't actually see feet anyway.)

Your back goes out more than you do.

It makes you feel old when the wife keeps saying, "Don't go up that ladder, Love, you might fall." It's gets me thinking, "Is she worried about me hurting myself or is it that she will have no-one to look after her if I do fall"?
I've also noticed that you don't bounce very well as you get older!

My mother said, of John Paul II, "Forget policemen looking young. I know I'm old when the Pope looks young !"
Me, I first felt ancient when I saw the bus, which I used to travel in every day, in the Transport Museum. When did that happen? I don't remember it going out of service ! And children are a great for that type of observation "It hasn't got seat belts" said my daughter, aged 22, on seeing a car model I once owned, up for auction in France. Surely she remembers seat belts coming in. It can only have been a few years ago (can't it?)
