There’s an old proverb (or maybe it’s just the title of a Broadway play) that reminds us of the universal truth: “You can’t take it with you.” Though they’re talking about life after death, I believe it applies to your 40s, as well. If you’re a man on the cusp of middle age, there’s a long list of things you should be leaving in the past. I’m talking about everything from scooters that would be mistaken for a child’s to wildly age-inappropriate clothing to the single worst haircut any man can have—especially someone at your dignified station in life.
Now, without further ado, here are the 40 things you should probably say goodbye to immediately. And once you’ve cut these things out of your life, be sure to learn the 40 words and phrases no man over 40 should ever say.

No man over 20 should ever look at a web site named “bestlifeonline.com.” Ever.
I own hoodies, they’re good jackets, especially for working in the yard. Flip flops are the correct shoe for going to the pool and kicking around the yard, both of which I do quite a bit. I still own the copy of Art of War I got as a teen, it’s not really “announcing” anything, it’s a good book, I own many good books. I’m spending more time bowling lately, thinking of getting shoes, but they’d be after getting my own ball. If you have alcohol you should have shot glasses, sure you might be spending more time in tumbler country, but you should be capable of dropping a shot. A lot of people find it handy I have a key chain bottle opener, it especially comes in handy when work decides to have a party. Baseball caps are good covers when doing yard work (I think that’s his 3rd yard work tool to complain about, apparently the guy needs a yard). I where mostly band shirts, it’s a casual life.
1) Slip ons in a campground shower? Not happening.
2) Hubby has funny ties he wears at Christmas. I like them, too. They stay.
3) Sun Tzu ain’t going anywhere. It’s mine.
But OK, I guess I'll lose the Winnie-the-Pooh sheet set.
Amen.
They’ll take my Snoopy Tie over my dead body.
A Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama bumper sticker.
I have Martin Vintage Guitar collection, that I probably should unload at some point soon.
I only have two items on the list. Shot glasses... hidden away in the liquor cabinet. I also have a baseball cap... a “Make America Great” cap. I’m keeping that one.
WTF is wrong with "flip flops" better known as "slippahs" here in Hawaii. That is ALL I wear in the tropics. Shoes are for the gym or very rare occasions. We just do not dress up.
Same goes for men Under 40.
LOL, I work from home so barefoot for me right now.
This is example of mental masturbation by the left.
Well, I only fail on two of these... wearing baseball caps and having enormous piles of laundry. But I’d kind of like to be failing on a 3rd one... having a girlfriend born during the (Bill) Clinton administration. Sue me.
I wear a baseball cap for mowing the lawn and attending my son’s Little League games. It keeps the son out of my eyes.
I have two Ronald Reagan shot glasses that I use for cognac every five years or so. I am not giving them up to be cool.
I guess I pass on the rest, but don’t accept the author’s authority on such things.
Sun Tzu’s a bit old for you, you know, Mew..... /s
“...be sure to learn the 40 words and phrases no man over 40 should ever say.”
I have just two phrases for you to learn (it’ll be easier for you, Eric Spitznagel): FU and mind your own business.
Ditto on the shot glasses!!
A few are spot on.
A Guy Fieri Haircut (needs no explanation)
A Girlfriend Born in the Clinton Years.....Too funny
