GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:

  1. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

  2. Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

  3. When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

  4. You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

  5. It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

  6. Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

  7. Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

  1. You believe in Santa Claus.

  2. You don't believe in Santa Claus.

  3. You are Santa Claus.

  4. You look like Santa Claus.
