    There are no more black hairs on your body
    Comb? What's that?
    You stop answering the door and phone
    You've lost at least 25% of your teeth
    Mary Jane was a candy
    You had an ice box
    Everything ran on DC
    You believe obesity is the solution to overcrowding
    You look forward to having a great dump
    Pretty girls will always talk to you
    More and more foods don't agree with you but beer and wine are just Okaaaay.

    1. Ain't that the truth!

    2. It started for me in my mid 40's. One of the guys I lifted with who was my age and had a wife and kids as well asked me "Why are those honeys so friendly with us Mark? They blow off the young bucks here all the time."

    I looked at him and said, "It's simple Bill. You and I are wearing our wedding bands, we're a good 10-15 years older than they are, and so they consider us safe. Reassuring to know the good looking women you could never get to talk to you when you were in your late teens and early 20's now consider you safe, huh?"

    They not only consider us "safe," they consider us harmless.

    I remember many years ago, sitting outside at a restaurant in Menlo Park, CA with some friends. A cute waitress walks up to take our order. There I am thinking how cute she is and how handsome I am when she pops my bubble with "so are you guys here to see your kids at Stanford's graduation?" Boy did I deflate fast!

    I drive down the same road all the time and ask my wife, "is that new?" No.
    I stand in the middle of a room and ask myself, why am I in this room?
    I verbally abuse the TV for being so stupid
    I want to dress like a codger but all the youn'ens are already doing that. phooweey.
    I don't understand why everyone at the gym is praying
