Hi everyone. For many years, I've been collecting humorous emails that people
have sent me that relate to "senior citizens" and/or "growing old. I'll bet
YOU get lots of these, too. If so, I'd like to add them to my collection. (I'm
also going to put them up on my SeniorTech website (www.seniortech.us) to
share with other seniors.) So, feel free to share them here on our SeniorTech
listserv. We all need a good chuckle now and then!
Here's one to get us all started...

Getting Old
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is
when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about
aging
that you think in fractions. How old are you?.... "I'm four and a
half"....You're never 36 and a half....you're four and a half going on five!
That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You
jump to the next number. How old are you? "I'm gonna be 16." You could be 12,
but you're gonna be 16.
And then the greatest day of your life happens....you become 21. Even the
words sound like a ceremony....you BECOME 21...YES!!!
But then you turn 30....ooohhh what happened there? Makes you sound like bad
milk....He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now.
What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING
40.....stay over there, it's all slipping away.
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50.....and your
dreams are gone.
Then you MAKE IT to 60.....you didn't think you'd make it!!!!
So you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT
to 60......then you build up so much speed you HIT 70!
After that, it's a day by day thing. After that, you HIT Wednesday.... You
get into your 80's, you HIT lunch. You TURN 4:30. Shoot, my grandmother
wouldn't
even buy green bananas....it's an investment you know, and maybe a bad one.
And it doesn't end there....into the 90's you start going backwards.... I was
JUST 92...
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little
kid again.... "I'm 100 and a half!!!!"
