There was once an e-mail going around about old age which I deleted ages ago (I think) ..but why not start our own

Old age is

getting stopped by the speed cops is because you were going too slow

when a good night is sleeping all the way through

when happy hour means having a nap

What did we have for dinner yesterday? Why didnt I wake up on time for my appointment this morning?
Did i put my asthma spray in my bag?
Just because I walk with two sticks, why does every passing gentleman feel free to tell me how his wife/mother manages. They do it nicely mind.

Hello there Uzzi

Amongst many things (which I will remember eventually!), the regular one for me is going upstairs to get something, forgetting what it is when I've got there, and remembering when I've gone downstairs again. Annoying, but good exercise!

When you used to say 'I wish to go all the way' which meant to the terminus!!!

Speaking to son last night asking how he enjoyed the concert of Gerry and the Pacemaker - he remarked he must have been the youngest there and that he had bnever seen so many zimmer frames and walking aids in one place - that it was no place to pick up a woman unless she had fallen on the floor!
