EVERY frame is funny!

Coincidentally, just this afternoon as a friend and I were limping our gimpy way along, I remarked to him: "The worst thing about getting older … " (I’m 78 and he’s 53) … “is that it just keeps getting worse.” When we were younger, sore muscles recovered and injuries healed, but not any more! Bone on bone hip joints (me) and gouty feet (him) aren’t going to get better. Sigh! Growing old isn’t for wimps. The only thing we can do is keep moving forward for as long as we can.

Probably better looking than Mel Gibson of today.

In real life, everyone thinks penguins are cute

Daddy, don’t you walk so fast….

Aw, this is hilarious. Poor Opus!

And yet he still met the girl of his dreams.

Considering how Mel Gibson turned out, it’s just as well, Opus.

See? It was all the fault of that accursed humming Wayne Newton in the woods. Poor MIDDLE-AGED Opus should have known better than to meddle with that dangerous Newton guy….

Why put yourself through such misery Opus. I once listened to Wayne Newton as he sung, “I’ll be with you in Apple-Blossom time” and I started to go into ketosis. Then I listened to his song backward, and I’ve never been the same. Therapy for the past two decades. So, Opus… please don’t do that again.

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree….

You know, if you begin the day with a bit of Wayne, it has NOWHERE to go but up!!!!
