You Know You're Getting Old When:

True story I was browsing the programs and saw that Terminator is on and then I saw it's on the Turner Classic Movie channel.

 

"I aint as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was"


When song lyrics like this make sense your getting up there.



I dont forget where I put my keys now, I just forget why I need them.


If you've ever walked into a room, couldnt remember why you went into it then left, remembered why you went in there but by the time you GOT back into the room you've forgotten why again.....Your getting old.


IF, after a great day with the partner on the bike your first THOUGHTS upon crossing the threshold is about climbing into bed and sleeping your getting up there!


When you have to ask your son how a certain system on your car works because you have no idea how this new-fangle shit works anymore it may be time to by a more comfortable easy chair.


(When a CAN AM Spyder starts looking good because it'll be easier on the knees your THERE!)

 

I'm really liking this thread but........

 

I am getting old, FUCK.

 

When...

Your youngest kid starts college in 45 days.

You've changed your investments from "aggressive" to "stable".

Your sitting in a strip joint saying to yourself "that's someone's daughter".

You wake up at 4am every day to take a leak.

You stop counting/noticing which bones crack when you get out of bed in the morning.

You realize its not about quantity, but quality (1 good hamburger rather than a sack from White Castle. 1 bottle of 18 year old Scotch rather than 3 of the other, etc. etc.).

You understand that some of these 20 year old Hollywood bimbo's are freaking HOT, but that a woman like Kate Beckinsale is just downright sexy.

 

Watched T2 last week with my kids and they were commenting on how old it all looked to them. Can't find a copy of the original terminator! Then I pulled out Mad Max and blew off the dust. How is this possible?


Oh and,
Kids hitting college, Check
Hampster bladder, Check
Investments portfolio, uhhhh what's that?
Feet hurt like I've been running on nails all night, Check!!

The desire to do more track days, stronger than ever!

 

this is not the result of getting old. It is the face that you have walked into a room, saw aliens, and the MIB have zapped your memory. At least, that is what I'm going with.

 

Ok, I won't , but are those Bifocals? ound:

 

Ummmm nooooo

But I have reading glasses, Lol

 

You know you are getting old when you get up in the morning and after a nice warm shower, you give your stick deodorant a good shake before you apply.

 

You know your getting old when their playing Led Zeppelin music in the lift.

You know your getting old when the parts of your body that still work, hurt to much to use anyway.

You know your getting old when even the dog makes you the fall guy for farting.

You know your getting old when you spend hours looking for your car in the car park, phone your wife to tell her the cars been stolen & she tells you went by bus.

You know your getting old when you now longer qualify for life insurance.

 

You know you're getting old when your fondest memories are a part of your grandson's history exam...

 

You know your getting old when you have to stretch your neck and face skin just to shave to get all the tiny hairs.

 

You know you are getting old when you go to your favorite burger joint and ask if they sell Turkey burgers. If they say YES you then proceed to ask what you can get instead of fries.

You know you are getting old when Toyota makes a commercial about old people and they are showing the car you bought two years ago.... WTF Toyota!!

You know you are getting old when the waitress asks for ID's and when you get yours out she says "Oh not you".........

 

Turkey isn't good for you, Makes you sleepy! But, I have been likin Sweet Potatoe fries lately!

 

You know you're getting old when you can rock to the Hokey Pokey...

 

You know you are getting old when you go shopping and half the items in your shopping cart are marked "For Fast Relief"

You know you are getting old when people call you at 9pm and the first thing they say is...... "I'm sorry I hope I didn't wake you up"

You know you are getting old when several of your co-workers were born the same year you received your last promotion.

you know you are getting old when... you are posting "you know you are getting old when" jokes in a forum instead of actually doing something!

and for the record, most of these comments could read, "you know your stoned when"... so maybe we're not that old and maybe it aint that bad

 

When your telling a story to a young adult or older teenager and your story starts off with "I remember a time when...." and they look at you in amazement or you have to explain a detail in your story. (ie a rotary phone)


The jokes that you use to harp on older co workers when you were young are now being used on you. (So Bob...What WAS it like diving with Davey Jones and how did you get paid back then???? Dabloons and an extra ration of grog?)
