Reminders you're getting old

The lie on the tennis ball worked a treat.

BUT where’s the bit about how to get back up!?:crazy_face:

Great to hear.

If you can do that stretch though, it’s the best.

I’ve never heard of Emoji’s. Where is it and is it any good ?

Better than Young & Jackson’s ?

Sammy Hagar is 75…

Mel Brooks is 96…

Slash being only 57 seems surprising to me.

When there are more dead artists than live that you know.

At work last night I threw a tissue box at a co-worker who, when I mentioned Live Aid, said ‘what’s that?’
No-one thought I was out of line.

She didn’t know Sting, The Police, Queen, she’d heard of Bohemian Rhapsody.
She is marginally younger than Shrek.

I don’t need to be attacked like that at work.

I have started looking at Death notices in the Age, seeing if anyone I know has died.

I don’t need any further reminders.

My mum used to ring to tell me that a distant relation of one of my schoolmates, whom I didn’t even remember, had died.

When your mother who used to ring you everytime she saw one of your exes get married, have a child in the paper, now calls you everytime she discovers one has divorced.

Time for a little laughter … You need to think around “old people”. 😅 A tale from the wild, wild West …

"An old woman walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post.

As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

He looked at the woman and laughed,

“Hey old woman, have you ever danced?”

The woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No … I never did dance … Never really wanted to”

A crowd has gathered as the young gunslinger grinned and said, “Well you old bag, you’re gonna dance now!”, and started shooting at the old woman’s feet.

The old woman prospector - not wanting to have her toes blown off- started hopping around. Many were laughing.

When his last bullet was fired, the gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barrelled shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air, and the crowd immediately stopped laughing.

The gunslinger heard the sounds too, and turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched tensely as he stared at the woman and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in her hands as she quietly said, “Son, have you ever kissed a mule’s ■■■?”

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, “No m’am, but I’ve always wanted too”

THERE ARE FIVE LESSONS HERE FOR ALL OF US:

1 - Never be arrogant.

2 - Don’t waste ammunition.

3 - Whiskey makes you think you’re smarter than you are.

4 - Always make sure you know who has the power.

5 - Don’t mess with old people; they didn’t get old by being stupid."
