Benefits of Growing Older
In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first
It's harder and harder for sexual harassment charges to stick
Kidnappers are not very interested in you
No one expects you to run into a burning building
People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "did I wake you?".
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
There's nothing left to learn the hard way.
Things you buy now won't wear out
You buy a compass for the dash of your car.
You eat dinner a 4:00
You can live without sex but not without your glasses.
You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch TV
You consider coffee one of the most important things in life
You constantly talk about the price of gasoline
You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.
You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
You get cable for the weather channel.
You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge
You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
You send money to PBS.
You sing along with the elevator music.
You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.
Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.
Your back goes out more than you do
Your ears are hairier than Your head.
Your eyes won't get much worse.
Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
Your joints are more accurate than the national weather service
Your secrets are safe with Your friends because they can't remember them either
Your supply of brain cells are finally down to a manageable size.
