I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.
The good news is that even as we get older, guys still look at our boobs. The bad news is they have to squat down first.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
I've tried to find a suitable exercise video for women my age, but they haven't made one called "Buns of Putty."
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches.
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing.

Yep, AARP has stopped sending me stuff. I guess they figured out I didn't want it after all the shredded materials I returned to them in their paid envelopes!

Thanks for the suggestion. Consider it done.

I once had great hopes for the AARP since seniors do need the benefits of an organization...like AARP was SUPPOSED TO BE. But the lust for wealth and corruption of the left, got hold of them. They have lost a ton of membership due to their obvious leftist bent.

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker. LOL! This one is hilarious, IMHO.

Snap, crackle pop!

This is my still my favorite comment about aging:
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming-
"WOW! What a ride!"

It's ruough when you're too old to do it anymore, but your memory is so bad that you thought you actually did do it.

The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.Also,the best thing about being senile is that you're always meeting new people.

An old boss of mine had a coffee mug that said "After 40, your body has a mind of its own."
Of course, you don't realize the truth of that comment until it hits you that your body most definitely DOES have a mind of its own.

funniest one I've ever heard was when a middle aged friend of mine told me that you know you're getting older when everything on you looks better when you're hanging upside down!
