Re: What is old age
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
"So I hear you're getting married?"
"Yep!"
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'.
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook to well.'
'Does she have lots of money?.
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?.'
'I don't know'.
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?.
'Because she can still drive!'

Re: What is old age
An elderly couple had dinner at another couples house, and after
eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two
gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a
new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very
highly'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?.'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the
name of that flower you give someone you love? You know... the
one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?.
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the
kitchen and yelled, Rose, what's the name of the restaurant we
went to last night?'.

Re: What is old age
When we were young our parents sent us to bed, usually around 19:00, telling us we needed a good nights sleep in order to be up bright and early do our paper round or whatever job we may have had and that we would be well rested in order that we would be alert and learning our lessons in school.
By the time we got married and the years leading up to it an early night meant a night of passion.
Now
To stay young we go to bed early and fall asleep immediately and only dream of nights of passion and dream we are still young, fit and capable of drinking and dancing the night away with passionate ladies.

Re: What is old age
Hi Braid, talking about old timers, last night on our local telly, 2 people were celebrating
their eightieth wedding anniversary, he was 102 and she was 101, I won't complain about
reaching that age if I'm as sprightly and with it as they were. He says the key to their success
is to agree with whatever she says. Fred.

To true, its an adage that I have followed since day one of marriage and which to date has allowed me to come through unscathed with all body functions in place and no scars. However my wallet has had a permanent low level alarm going off in it since day one.
