You Know You're Old Dept.

I first realized that I was getting old when I was flirting with one
attractive receptionist at a clients office and he ask how old I was.
Now she was in her early twenties and had just turned 40. I told her
my age and her eyes got real wide and she exclaimed: "Wow, you are the
same age as my daddy"!

Hey, I resemble that remark... For me one of the signs of being over
the hill was going to the motorcycle dealership and asking for a part
for my XS11 and the guy behind the counter asks "what's an XS11.)

Or when someone asks if Paul Mcartney was in a group back in the 1960s.

I once told this sweet young thing at a party that I felt like out of
place like the Steely Dan song Hey 19. She asked who's Steely Dan...
Needless to say it wasn't an enjoyable evening.

And what's wrong with that?

That's the sort of think that could make a guy need Prozac to face thinking
about Viagra!

When all the State Cops look like teen-agers . . . . .

And they stop me in my regular ride and ask if I shouldn't think about
getting an "Antique License" ? . . . . . and then (dammit, I just
HAD to) ask them whether they meant for the car or for myself.
I got a sort of revenge, however. He nearly fell down laughing so hard
on the walk back to his cruiser !

When I was in college, a friend remarked 'you know you are getting
old when the girls that pose in THOSE magazines are younger then
you'...

I believe this one tops them all:

This year is bad enough, next January it gets worse - much, much worse.

Young ladies will qualify for Playboy magazine's Playmate status

.... (wait for it) ...

sigh ....who were BORN in the 1990's!
