Perks of being over 50

[Allan at Wallan]

* Kidnappers are not interested in you.

* No one expects you to run ... anywhere.

* There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

* Things you buy now won't wear out.

* You can live without sex ... but not your glasses.

* You can quit holding your stomach in no matter who
walks into the room.

* You sing out loud listening to music in an elevator.

* Your investment in health insurance is finally paying off.

* Your secrets are safe with your friends because they
can't remember them either.

[K_S]

And we get to make bold (anonymous) statements

LIKE Aeroplanes vs Women



1) Aeroplanes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time.

2) Aeroplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.

3) Aeroplanes don't get mad if you do a "touch and go."

4) Aeroplanes don't object to a preflight inspection.

5) Aeroplanes come with manuals to explain their operation.

6) Aeroplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.

7) Aeroplanes can be flown any time of the month.


8) Aeroplanes don't come with in-laws.

9) Aeroplanes don't care about how many other aeroplanes you've flown before.

10) Aeroplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.


11) Aeroplanes don't mind if you look at other aeroplanes.

12) Aeroplanes don't mind if you buy aeroplane magazines.


13) Aeroplanes expect to be tied down.

14) Aeroplanes don't comment on your piloting skills.

15) Aeroplanes don't whine unless something is really wrong.

16) However, when aeroplanes go quiet, just like women, it's
usually not good.

You know you are over 50 when...

*Getting lucky is being the first in the queue at the supermarket.

*you smile all the while because you can't hear what people are saying.

*Your back goes out more than you do.

*You are proud of your lawn mower.

*Younger drivers pass you and shout out "Get a horse"

*Grass is something you mow.

* Old folk with grey hair who you've never met before say hello

* You say something like 'After the war ..... ' to young folk and they look blank

...

And to them, "1980" is the same as "1890."

... and you take your twenties something daughter to a Judith Durham concert, with eager anticipations based on fond memories of a vibrant, melodious, young artist, and the show starts and out walks a feeble little old lady on to the stage.


Your daughter politely stops short of saying, "What the .....!"
