Common Sense comes with Age
email from a friend | 6/26/2022 | unknown

Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it.

My tolerance for idiots is extremely low these days. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there's a new strain out there.

It’s not my age that bothers me; it’s the side effects.

I’m not saying I’m old and worn out, but I make sure I’m nowhere near the curb on trash day.

As I watch this generation try and rewrite our history, I'm sure of one thing: It will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

As I’ve gotten older, people think I’ve become lazy. The truth is I’m just being more energy efficient.

I haven't gotten anything done today. I've been in the Produce Department trying to open this stupid plastic bag.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

Turns out that being a "senior" is mostly just googling how to do stuff.

I want to be 18 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the world. Then he made the earth round. . . and laughed and laughed and laughed.

I'm on two diets. I wasn't getting enough food on one.

I put my scale in the bathroom corner and that's where the little liar will stay until it apologizes.

My mind is like an internet browser. At least 19 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no clue where the music is coming from.

Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall, and when it rang, I picked it up without knowing who was calling.

Apparently RSVPing to a wedding invitation "Maybe next time" isn't the correct response.

She says I keep pushing her buttons. If that were true, I would have found mute by now.

So you’ve been eating hot dogs and McChickens all your life, but you won’t take the vaccine because you don’t know what’s in it. Are you kidding me?

Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still as stupid as the first time.

There is no such thing as a grouchy old person. The truth is that once you get old, you stop being polite and start being honest.

If you are a demonrat, common sense evaporates like liquid nitrogen poured onto magma as they age.

Yup. Common scents may also increase with age. 😂

🎸 Open jam session Wednesday night 6/29 at the Red Dog in Virginia City. 7-10 if you aren’t busy. And again on July 6 same hours. Being part of the house band has good points. 😊

I don’t believe it.

Both my parents are far left socialists. My mom keeps cartoon clips of Trump as a Nazi in her fridge.

It is almost like they are regressing and losing common sense the more they age :)

I had a friend just like that. It seemed the older she got; the further to the left she moved.

I think with some increased age is when they start internalizing a growing sense of insecurity whether real or not. Their health and physicality changes. They see significant people in their lives pass, spouses, friends, societal figures. Their whole internal mental foundation as to how they interpret the world is shaken by this to some or to a major degree.

I saw it in my folks! Probably happening in me!

So, you’re friends with my wife?

“ The truth is that once you get old, you stop being polite and start being honest.”

And you no longer give a flip what people think about it 🤪
