THOUGHTS ON AGING

* Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty. But everything else is starting to wear out, fall out, or spread out.

* There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory. I forget the other two.

* You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

* Middle age is when work is a lot less fun -- and fun is a lot more work.

* Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Now isn't that a great time for a guy to get those kind of odds?

* You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you.
* Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

* By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.

* Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle.

* A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor instead of by the police.

* You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

* The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.

* You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before!

* You know you're getting old when you stop buying green bananas.

* When you lean over to pick something up off the floor, you ask yourself if there is anything else you need to do while you are down there.

Saturday At Confession
Two brothers went to confession.  During the big brother's confession the Fr. Pat asked him, "Where is God?"  The boy didn't answer so Father Pat asked again, "Where is God?"  The boy was dumbfounded and silent. Father  once again asked the boy, "Son, where is God?"  

All of a sudden the boy darted out of the confessional, took hold of his brother and ran out of the church telling him, "Let's get out of here, God is missing and they're trying to pin it on us."
