Bio
I'm an unemployed marketer, finding more laughs than job opportunities. I bundled up those laughs and observations into a book and titled it "My Humor's Working (Even if I'm Not)." The book is now available. Please share both the link and the humor: https://www.createspace.com/3464979

My friends are looking old

Rate: 13 Flag

I haven't seen him since he moved out of town six years ago.  We laughed about his white beard and the loss of weight.  He's starting to look like George Carlin.

Her blonde hair faded to gray then to silver.  "It's a beautiful color" for someone much older than us.  

The restaurant owner finally put the two of us together.  "Your brother came in the other day. I didn't realize that he was your brother until he mentioned you. I didn't realize that the old guy, er, I didn't know he was your brother until he said something."

When did she get fat ankles?

How did that one gain so much weight?

I never realized that he had so many wrinkles that they carved up his neck.

Trying to meet some new and younger people, I met up with a group of folks.  I introduced myself and said that I was unemployed.  A 30-year old woman asked "Are you retired?"  

"Retired?" I repeated.  "No, no, no, unemployed."  Harumph, I'd better meet up with another group.  This one has people that can't hear and obviously have vision problems to boot.

Aunt Mabel: You don't look a day over 20 (in that cartoon).
Not sure which side of AARP you're on, but old is only old to kids and callow youths. The rest of us know that our wise, experienced maturity kicks ass.
Sally: Yes, I'm a card carrying member of AARP. I think I even have the free plastic desk clock around here. As for wisdom and kicking ass, I've been accused of being a wise ass my entire life. It's certainly better than being a dumb ass.
Some of us feel it too.
Funny and unfortunately very relatable. _r
All right you young whippersnappers. Don't even talk about "old" until you're at least 10 years older than I am - and you'll never make it!
Bobbot: Believe me, I felt it this weekend when I walked all through McCormick Place for the Housewares Show. Egads, I used to handle tradeshows as easily as jumping rope. Come to think of it, that's probably harder now too.
Joan: Thanks for commiserating.
Dolly: You make it look easy.
Kris, age is only a state of mind- that's my philosphy. I'm in my 50s and my avatar picture was taken last week at my reading. Think positive, feel positive. Rated. (for hope and positivity.
Bonnie: Thanks for feeling my pain.
FunusA: Yep, I'm right there with you in age and optimism.
What Sally said - only kids think "old."
Remember when anyone over thirty seemed old? I guess I only see the bubbly Grand Avenue Girl when I'm with you.
Owl: thanks for the reminder!
Nora: Yes, I've enjoyed my adventures ever since those GAG days.
