The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 12, 2016

Kids always want to be older than they are. Adults know better…

Percentages, Hurricane.

$2.00 off a $10 item — a nice deal$2.00 off a $100 item — a little helps$2.00 off a $1,000 item — piffle, not worth bother

Simple. A kid who’s 9 1/2 is looking forward to turning 10. An adult who’s 49 1/2 is dreading turning 50!

Because once you hit legal drinking age, you’ve no reason to want to get older.

I was 49, then I was 49A, 49B…One of these days I hope to be 49AA.

age only matters to a certain point, then it doesn’t matter.

By the time they get to 97, they talk about 96-1/2 …. just sayin’

I turned 66 and a half yesterday :-)

For most born losers, it’s more like thirty-nine going on fifty.

more like 49 going on five

I’m ‘Over the Hill’ going on Dead. A word to Gizmo Cat. Your body starts falling apart once you hit your 50th birthday. Or, in some cases, it just picks up speed at falling apart.

In my case I’m going on 21 – - – - for the fourth time.

I’ve always thought that the important number is not how many years you’ve lived, but how many healthy years you have left to live. Hard to be precise about that, though.
