Who wants to get old?

I've made a decision, ............ getting old is no fun.

But when you consider the only known alternative to getting old, ...... getting old looks better!

The worst thing about getting old is you only get... 'old', so off you go to tackle something or the other, and "Wham", ...... it hits you, "I can't do this anymore". Then you say a few choice words and sit in the corner and pout. (there's no sight quite like a 60+ old guy, ... sitting in the corner with his lower lip hanging out.

Well, ...just think about it for a minute, ...... everything goes really well until you're about 50. After that, .... things start falling off. Those things that don't fall off on their own get surgically removed. Everything else just stops working.



So you get up one morning, and find ...you can't get up! "It hurts!" Well OK, I can stand up now, ..... if I could only walk! Hey, ... there's one step, ... two....three...I might make it again today! (now, if I can only make it to the bathroom, I'll have this thing licked). Gosh, my feet hurt!

Death and Taxes. They're both unavoidable. They both put you through a great deal of degradation prior to the final payment. Is anyone doing any research on the avoidance of death? It seems to me this should be a priority, .... even more so than gas prices. I mean, think about it, ... if you die you don't care what the price is of gas anyway. It becomes irrelevant!

You'd think the oil companies would be spending some of their record profits on finding a cure for death. Hey, ...if everyone dies, .. who's going to buy the gas? Oh man, ...that'll wreck their profits big time.

If you reach any conclusions on the matter, let me know.
If you find an alternative to getting old (other than dieing of course)...Let me Know for sure!

Ciao

Bueno Fortuna
