"that the medication you prescribed has
to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
"I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."

An older gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia
he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, son;
do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me ..
your mother is going to come
and live with you and your wife...."

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you
stop lying about your age and start bragging about it
------------------------------------------
The older we get, the fewer things seem
worth waiting in line for
---------------------
Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.
----------------------
You know you are getting old when everything
either dries up or leaks.
----------------------------------------------
I don't know how I got over the hill
without getting to the top.
------------------------
One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.
-----------------------
Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.
--------------------------
Old age is when former classmates are so gray
and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
--------------------------
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
---------------------
First you forget names, then you forget faces.
Then you forget to pull up your zipper.
It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
