I have noticed a little ageism creeping into the forums recently ...
So I thought I'd post the text of an e-mail I received from my 74 year old sister this morning:
"Subject: retirement
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day Carol and I went into town and walked into a shop.
We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?" He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.
So Carol called him a sh1thead.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's
important at our age".
in church leaned across to her husband and said "I just dropped a silent f*rt, what should I do".
He replied, "put a new battery in your hearing aid"!

~ your thoughts create your reality ~
The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University .
Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a
mistake. The average person over 40 years of age cannot do it!
1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat.
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8. This is f*rt cat. (* To avoid censorship)
9. This is busy cat.
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat
12. This is seconds cat.
Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down.
oh ok. I was thinking it wasn't but you never know.

Tell me one true story.I am bored here.
"Drink Beer Save Water"
nah, the story isn't true, but it WAS sent to me by my 74 year old sister - that part IS true :D
First of all- is this a true story? The end is funny but just think of those poor people who are going to have to deal with those tickets.
I like it...
got the msg.
ill be careful when i play softball with you......lol ....
it right - the first time!
I can remember a few years ago when I played soft ball (rounders) with a crowd of youngsters I worked with. Believe it or not I DID manage to hit the ball and run all the way round and score a 'rounder' for my team.
I limped into work next morning only to see all the others (some many years younger than me) looking in worse shape!
Just lack of exercise - nothing to do with age :P
Would you mind stepping in and stop hidding plz :/
