I might not be over 40 but even i can appreciate some of those little sayings very funny MM

Good find Magik

Oh, to be 40 again. Although that was so long ago, I can still remember it well

It first hit me when I overheard a kid in a record store say, "I heard that Paul had a group before Wings"
Homer - Magic, we were kings at one time though...weren't we.

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!

Hey there Crow, nice to see you again. You should hang around, there's plenty that goes on around here that will leave you in stitches, literally and/or figuratively.

Be sure to take care of yourself, also.
