I knew a woman who was 96 at the time, lived to be 99.
She said, “ You know you are getting old when Christmas comes every other week.”
I’ll never forget that one

Like so many witticisms ascribed to Twain, he never said that first one.

Met a 90 year old spry woman at a health fair.
Asked her what her secret was.
She said, “Don’t let them start doing tests on you, once they start doing tests, you’re done for.”

Probably wasn’t original, but, from my grandfather;

“So soon I grow old, so late I grow smart”

Old is when your kids plan your Eldercare, right in front of you.

When your grown kids say they like listening to "oldies" and you realize they're talking about music from your teens.

When you volunteer teaching kids in church, say things like "when you're older and have gray in your beard like me" and a kid innocently but correctly says that your beard isn't gray -- it's white.

If you remember Auburn's national championship before the 2010 one. (Iron Bowl was just a couple of days ago, so I had to throw that one in. LOL)

If you eat right, don’t drink or smoke, get plenty of rest and exercise, you get eight more years in an old folk’s home.

“Never regret growing old; it’s a privilege denied to many.”

I don’t know who came up with that one.

Aging is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.
