Magikman Posted May 2, 2003 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2003 -Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work. -The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals. -You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere. -Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D. -You get winded playing chess. -Your children begin to look middle aged. -You finally reach the top of the ladder, and find it leaning against the wrong wall. -You join a health club and don't go. -You begin to outlive enthusiasm. -You decide to procrastinate but then never get around to it. -Your mind makes contracts your body can't meet. -You need glasses... to find your teeth. -A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge. -You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions. -You look forward to a dull evening. -You walk with your head held high trying to get use to your bifocals. -Your favorite part of the newspaper is "25 Years Ago Today." -You turn out the light for economic rather than romantic reasons. -You sit in a rocking chair and can't make it go. -Your knees buckle and your belt won't. -You regret all those mistakes resisting temptation. -You stop looking forward to your next birthday. -After painting the town red, you have to take a long rest before applying a second coat. -Dialing long distance wears you out. -You're startled the first time you are addressed as "Old Timer." -You remember today that yesterday was your wedding anniversary. -You just can't stand people who are intolerant. -You burn the midnight oil after 9 p.m.. -Your back goes out more than you do. -A fortune teller offers to read your face. -The little gray haired lady you helped across the street is your wife. -You get exercise acting as a pallbearer for your friends who exercise. -You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet. -Your sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there. -You go to the beauty shop so they can touch up those gray hairs...on your chin. -When you go to get your hair cut...in your ears. -When you don't know where the mustache ends and the nose hair begins. -When Maalox is your after dinner drink.

SpaceyKC Posted May 2, 2003 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I thought it was a trap to see who checked it ~ something would pop up and say 'You must be 40!' I guess we'll all laugh until most of those things are too familiar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
