being over 50 does have its advantages.. . 1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 3. No one expects you to run into a burning building. 4. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?" 5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 6. There's nothing left to learn the hard way. 7. Things you buy now won't wear out. 8. You can eat dinner at 4 p.m. 9. You can live without sex (but not without glasses). 10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations. 11. You get into a heated argument about pension plans. 12. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it. 13. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 14. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. 15. You sing along with the elevator music. 16. Your eyes won't get much worse. 17. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 18. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the National Weather Service. 19. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 20. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size. 21. You can't remember who sent you this.
lol.... i think you might have gotten away with not offending anybody because this is such a young forum.
I dint mean to offend anyone, because everyone wont be young always and they have to cross 50 one day
I know of a couple of 50+ DPers. I'm sure they're grown up enough by now to enjoy your post. If you don't have a sense of humour by 50, you may as well have died young.
And you can break wind in public places without batting an eyelid because natural bodily functions such as these no longer embarrasses you any more. Not that I do, mind you.
LOL, I especially like this one: 19. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
If he would have said 65 not 50 then it is not rubbish. I once met a man from Sudan who said he didn't know anyone over 40 back home and girls were ready to marry not too long after 12. The Sudanese version would be the advantages of being over 26. I guess all those preservatives in our US/UK diets are working well.
