Pondering......
As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world,
I realized that at my age I don't really give a rat's ass anymore.
.... If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
.... A whale swims all day, mainly eat fish, drinks water, but is still fat.
.... A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while
.... A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.
And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.
Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,
The good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the
Eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
6. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?
7. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser.
8. Some days, you're the top dog; some days you're the hydrant.
9. I wish the buck really did stop here; I sure could use a few of them.
10.. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
11.. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.
12.. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
13.. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom.
14.. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees.
15.. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.
16.. It's not hard to meet expenses . . . They're everywhere.
17.. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
18.. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter .. . ..... I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm "here after".
19.. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
20.. HAVE I POSTED THIS BEFORE..........??????

Good riff. And why, at my age, does a year seem to take about two weeks? If I live

to be one hundred, that will seem like about six months from now.

Pondering is good!
If God had desired man to walk, we would still be on all fours.
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.
The Complete Book of Running Irony at its best?
Is dieing rich really the best revenge? Living rich is! Dying rich is simply the result by bad money management.

A finer description of Murphy's law and philosophy I have never seen. And just remember, the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train! :mrgreen:

If God didn't want us to play with it, He would have made our arms shorter.
er... perhaps this doesn't go here.
I'll go. Sorry... I'm so sorry.

Life and the world is our ball of clay to shape and mold. Apparently I am not a talented artist.
Great thread

Frank when you are a boy and poor that's the only Toy you have.
Yep, and I called mine 'Stretch Armstrong' and that's way before such a toy came out with that name. :wink:
