Two old guys were sitting under a tree, watching the sun go down. One says, "You know, I'm 84 years old and my body is full of aches and pains. You're about my age. How do you feel?"
The other guy says, "Oh, I feel like a newborn baby."
"Really," says the first guy.
"Yep," says the second one. "No teeth, no hair and I think I just wet my pants."

I had the honor of another birthday this past week. Most of you are probably wondering my age, and I will honestly tell you that I've stopped counting after I hit 25. I have every reason to, since I apparently don't even look like I've reached 18.
I'm not complaining about that, either. It was just funny to watch someone's reaction to what my actual age is versus what they apparently thought my age to be.
You see, I had to go to Wal*Mart this week to get a can of compressed air for work. Apparently, you have to be 18 to purchase a can of compressed air, and the cashier said she didn't think I was old enough to be able to make my purchase. The conversation went as follows:
Cashier: "Can I see your ID, please?"
Me: "If you think that I'm not old enough to be buying this stuff, I'm flattered!" I handed her my driver's license with a huge smile.
Cashier: "Oh my! You are definitely old enough to buy this, cigarettes, and go to a casino!" She handed me back my ID. "You certainly age well!"
Me: "Thank you!"
The same day, while I was checking laptops for repair at work, I go into a classroom. One of the students said, "Hi," to me, and I smiled, since I'm really not supposed to do anything to disrupt the class and returning conversation is disruptive.
"Fine, you old lady. Don't say, 'hi,' back to me."
All in one day, my confidence is boosted and then torn back down, bringing me back to level ground. Isn't life grand?  |
