Musings on getting older.

Lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I have realized that…at my age…I don't really give a rat's arse anymore.

If walking is good for your health, the mailman would be immortal.

A whale swims all day, only eats fish, and drinks water, but is still fat.

A rabbit runs, hops, & only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn't run, does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And they tell us to exercise? I don't think so.
 
Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
 
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
 
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.
 
3. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
 
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
 
5. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
 
6. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than it was to get wiser.
 
7. Some days, you're the top dog, some days you're the hydrant.
 
8. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
 
9. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
 
10. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
 
11. It is hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
 
12. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.
 
13 If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
 
14. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
 
15. It is not hard to meet expenses . . . They're everywhere.
 
16. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
 
17. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".

I'm older now; I don't remember experiencing #3 or 4.

Oh, now that I see your post says "Musings on getting older,"  and NOT "Mustangs are getting older"    .....it's a hilarious (because it's true ) read!

Thanks David - they are all terrific. And maybe one more: If my ship ever comes in, I'll likely be at the bus station!
