“you’re only as young as you feel,” they said. i replied with a simple query. “do people live to be 135?”

When I was a teenager, an old lady was complaining about her various problems then said to me “don’t ever get old!” And I said “I don’t think I much like the alternative.”

Oh, woe is me.

They told me that “life begins at seventy” but they did not tell me just what it begins to do, doo,doo.

Look at the bright side, Nerwin, I don’t think trolls live as long as witches!

And you could have whole different list of maladies: hearing loss, vision loss, asthma just to name a few things. There’s more out there.

Cataracks, Gall bladder, Rotator cuff and don’t forget the knees. Just a few of the things I’ve had fixed in my older years.

Smart!

Welcome to your metallic years: silver in your hair, gold in your teeth and lead in your pants.

yup i’m one of those lucky ones who is in their metallic years, i just wish i could sell those metals

Ah, I have a heart of gold and a knee of titanium.
