Well phrased. :-)

I guess they couldn’t find any pennies.

Got that right.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Inside of every old person is a young person wondering “When did this all happen?”

They were looking to do a splenectomy and got froggy when I told them I didn’t have one.

Don’t be so upset about it, Oldbot, you don’t want to blow a gasket. Just remember the time-honored medical advice: “Keep calm and check your oil pressure”.

It does that.

[slightly nsfw] It was 2003. I was at an event in Manhattan. It was Valentine’s Day and the barmaid was wearing red plastic love handcuffs. One cuff on one wrist and the other hanging loose. I asked where she brought them, figuring she’d say some kinky sex store in Greenwich Village.

“Oh, they have them at CVS.”

That’s when I knew I was too old for this century.

I know that feeling

Old age is like a game of Jenga. You build it up and over time parts get removed, until you finally fall over.

Old age? You a robot. Just getting new parts and well oils em see.

Still better than the alternative.

Lot of that going around.

I’m not sure who said it, but growing old isn’t for sissies.

“Youth is wasted on the young” George Bernard Shaw

The same exact thing happened to me also

The kid in me looks at an old guy in the mirror every morning.

Still breathing. I’ll take it.

You’re the victim of planned obsolescence.

To be fair, you’re a computer. You were obsolete 6-months after you were built. That’s a weird retirement home…all full of 6-month-olds.

I’m hip. (Which, in saying that, reveals too much!)

Old age based on old boy sounds like John wick

I’ve been claiming to be in late youth for a few decades Someone finally said, “Late? As in dead? The late David Huie Green?”

Coming soon.

My saving grace is that I aged better than most people my age.
