Old Age

Saw this and it amused me:

Old age is when you get the same sensation from your rocking chair as you used to get from a helter skelter.

Old or not, you need to worry when you start Rocking in a standard chair.

Here is a little of it.

As People Age, Old Age Moves Back
It's no surprise that the older people get, the longer they think it takes for a person to reach old age:

On average, adults between the ages of 30 and 49 think old age begins at 69.
People who are currently 50-64 believe old age starts at 72.
Responders who are 65 and older say old age begins at 74.
Responses to the question, “When does old age begin?” vary by sex as well as age, with women taking the more generous view. On average, women say old age begins at age 70, according to the Pew study. Men, on average, say that old age begins at 66.

I also think that Old age is when they put one candle on your birthday cake and say "See if you can blow it out."
