For and Against

I can't stand much more doom and gloom on here today, so I thought I'd tell you about a few nice advantages of old age just to cheer you all up:


1. You can still get that thrill of the roller coaster - just by using the lift.

2. You get to ride at top speed in ambulances.

3. You can save time by leaving your teeth to clean in a jar by your bedside while you sleep.

4. There will be no need to observe dining etiquette anymore, as slurping and burping will be silently tolerated.


Before you get too excited though, think about a few disadvantages too:



1. Be vigilant when you go out.
You can often find yourself on the opposite of the road due to over-zealous boy scouts.

2. You may wake up in a panic when you see your wig and teeth by the bed, thinking you are having an out of body experience.

3. There won't be any older generation to blame everything on to.

4. If you play knock the door and run away - you are much more likely to get caught.


Enjoy your evening folks.

Re: For and Against

For:

1. You get to enjoy senior discounts
2. You get to ride on a bus for free (we when it safe to ride a bus that is)
3. No need to worry about being kidnapped
4. (women) don't have to feign a headache anymore
5. People accept it when you say you forgot

Your post reminded me of something I read a long time ago and it made me laugh. Hope you get a chuckle out of it too.

At age 4, success means not peeing in your pants

At age 12, success means having friends

At age 17, success means having a driver's licence

At age 25, success means having sex

At age 35, success means having money

At age 45, success means having money

At age 55, success means having sex

At age 65, success means having a driver's licence

At age 75, success means having friends

At age 85, success means not peeing in your pants.

Thanks all.

Oh, one more bit of advice about our Wills before I clear off -

Best to keep Wills short and simple, something like:

"Being of sound mind, I have spent all my money."

That'd do nicely.

Nice one. ..But wanton "slurping and burping" is so NOT accepted. Not in our house leastways.
