You know you are getting older when..............

[joshb]

...when you see a family together and think that Grandma is pretty hot!

 

[dthomas]

when your dreams are dry and your farts are wet!

 

[BW64]

When you try to step into your underwear & fall over.

I did just about what you did! I just had a small "accident" camping out and cooking Bologna on a "Bunsen Burner"! There was a girl about a year older than I was. She was "one of us guys"! Well we were on the "camping trip" in the fields behind our houses. The Bunsen Burners somehow got out of control and we burned the entire field down! It was about 3/4 mile long and maybe 3-400 yards wide! We skated on that one>>>nobody found out it was us! LOL!!! I just looked it up, I could not remember the name of the burners we used. They were called Sterno!

I remember my father telling how when he and my uncle were young they made a cannon out of pipe (early 1900's) and used black powder; loaded it with gravel and used leaves for tamping. When they set it off they didn't know my grandfather was in the corn field...well, the cannon was a success, got my grandpa with the gravel and set the field on fire. Some how, he never got around to saying what grand pa did.

Now that is a great story! I wish we could still live like that in today's times!

You know you're getting old when you come down with chest of drawers disease. That's when your chest sinks in to your drawers.

I figure you've really crossed the ridgeline when you wander into the bathroom and stand there for a few minutes trying to remember why you walked into the bathroom. ....Then you notice your socks are getting warm!

You're gettin old when you realize that you're not the man that you used to be.

Then you get honest, and realize you never were the man that you thought you were. jd

Stopped in Las Vegas on the way to California (you were really cool if you went to California and went to Mickey Thompson's place, Orange County Dragway, stood on the corner of Haight and Ashbury, etc., etc.) and went to see a show. Holy crap! It was $35 a person! It was a guy named Elvis something-or-other. That was waaaay too much, so we went to see the musical "Hair".

Hey, when I went to school, they didn't have History!

You know you're really getting old when you wake up in the morning and you HEAR "Snap, Crackle, Pop" coming from you instead of the kitchen where you heard it coming from a cereal bowl when you were a kid! LOL!!!

Someone probably posted this and I FORGOT, but how about Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Greenjeans, and Bunny Rabbit?

I remember my kids watching those.

This is very true to me.

I think you know you're getting old when you have more doctors than friends...

I think you know you're getting old when you have more doctors than friends...

And you are considerably older than all your doctors.

My bone doctor looks like a movie star.
Much too young to be a doc.

You know....when you can remember when cars cost this much and this was a station wagon!

You know you're old if you may remember hearing from your parents these phrases:

Finish your food. Kids are starving in China.
You better eat something substantial.
You're eating too much junk.
A dose of salts will fix you up.
I'll give you something to cry about.
Nip it in the bud.
Quit sitting in the house. Go outside and get the stink blown off of you.

Last but not least, no dessert unless you finish your supper.
(Man, I hated those lima beans).
