But enough about that serious stuff, let’s laugh a little!
George Burns, the giant of yesteryear, had a number of great one-liners about advanced age. Here are a few of his lines about getting older:
“He’s so old that when he orders a three-minute egg, they ask for the money up front!”
“Old age is when you resent the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated because there are fewer articles to read.”
“At my age, flowers scare me.”
Speaking of “at my age,” Phyllis Diller once quipped, “I’m at an age when my back goes out more than I do.”
Nota bene: if back woes are among your problems that the elderly face, you can rely on the CAREGivers of Home Instead to provide the residential assisted living service near North Hollywood, CA that will soothe your fears.
But back to the jokes.
Agatha Christie, not one normally known for her jokes, wrote, “An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.”
Phyllis Diller shared a similar sentiment: “Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age -- as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.”
But men get their own, too. Rita Rudner said, “My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands and two of them were just napping.”
And to keep the men interested, or just to keep enjoying her own life, Rudner also said, “I don't plan to grow old gracefully. I plan to have face-lifts until my ears meet.”
Will Rogers had another solution for the pesky and unwelcome aging process. He said, “We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress.” And as we now know, we could stop it indefinitely if we could get it stuck in the filibuster!
But alas, time just keeps rolling along. Andy Rooney said, “I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.”
But always keep in mind what George Carlin said: “So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.”
