About Getting
Older
For those of you
who can’t relate to this completely – just wait, your
time’s coming…
I feel like my body
has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a
fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for
seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an
hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:
"And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the
reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly
widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she
replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the
undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?”
I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. Fought prostate cancer and
diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to
blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my
hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have
my driver's license.
A 97-year-old man goes into his doctor's office and says, "Doc, I want my
sex drive lowered." "Sir," replied the doctor, "you're 97. Don't you think your sex drive is all in your
head?" "You're damned right it is!" replied the old man.
"That's why I want it lowered!"
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two
final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her
ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my
daughters visit me twice a week."
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it
used to be.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
I've still got it, but nobody wants to see it.
I'm getting into swing dancing. Not on
purpose. Some parts of my body are just prone to swinging.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.
The good news is that even as we get older, guys still look at our boobs. The
bad news is they have to squat down first.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast
relief."
I've tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age, but they haven't
made one called "Buns of Putty."
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child
playing with matches.
Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up!
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop laughing.
THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget
the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
