Used to have cute, perky boobs. Now I need someone to hold them up so I can buckle my belt.

When you realize the first computer program you wrote was stored on punchcards


Ha - I made a career changing decision while taking a FORTRAN programming course at UAH in the 70s. The professor's assignment was semi-complex - my solution program required a box and a half of cards - each box contained 2,000 cards so I needed ~3,000 punch-cards. Numerous students showed up with their solutions in 50-100 cards that would fit in their shirt pocket. Based on that, I determined to pursue another major track.

You go to see the new orthopedic surgeon for a knee injury and realize that you have tattoos that are older than he is.

- Hit music from your formative years is now used as ambient background noise for grocery stores


I always chuckle when I hear Bizarre Love Triangle at the grocery store or mall. But the 80s did produce timeless music.

I read that we have soldiers in Afghanistan that weren’t even born yet on 9/11. That makes you feel a little old.

I actually get hurt when doing something stupid these days.

Last year I jumped from the bed rail of a new f150 to the concrete in flip flops.

I legitimately thought I broke my back

It's like 5 ft and it nearly killed me.

20 year old my once jumped from the second floor of a plantation home and neither spilled his drink nor dropped his cigarette.

Went to play some ball, and just tried to do a layup, a simple layup. No legs, nothing. I could still dribble, beat the defense, get a clear path to the basket. and just no lift....like all the lift was just sucked out of my legs. I could do most anything on the basketball court, but lol, I guess those days are gone...

You have to know your limits and stay in your lane.

If you’re fiddy year-old Brad Pitt then maybe 25 year-olds are on the docket but for most of us the 2X + 10 year formula is (at minimum) a good rule.

There are not many better feelings than the unexpected tug on your bait by an appreciably younger woman when you’re a late middle-ager.

Hidden tube of Preparation H in the corner of your medicine cabinet...like some random hot chick will come and find it and you’d be embarrassed.

You remember eating Wheaties for breakfast when Bruce Jenner's picture was on the box.

Wife and I tried to watch the Grammys and recognized zero songs and we thought all the music sucked
