WISDOM!<br />
Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and<br />
forget where they left them.<br />
One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a<br />
woman gain 5 lbs.<br />
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.<br />
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your<br />
body and your fat are really good friends.<br />
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.<br />
Amazing you hang something in your closet for a while it shrinks two sizes!<br />
Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, 'You know<br />
sometimes I forget to eat!' Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's<br />
maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to<br />
be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!<br />

GRINS & SNICKERS<br />
Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly<br />
neighbour and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a<br />
table. 'Young man, we're both 90 years old, ' the husband said.<br />
'We may not have 45 minutes.' They were seated immediately.<br />
I was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming. Completely<br />
ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out<br />
line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the<br />
cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the cart and<br />
asked sweetly, 'So which six items would you like to buy?'<br />
Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?<br />
You can run a paper bag<br />
through your printer.<br />
(Clever idea)<br />
The reason Politicians try so<br />
hard to get re-elected is that they<br />
would 'hate' to have to make a living<br />
under the laws they've passed.<br />

If you remembered 3-6 You are getting older<br />
If you remembered 7-10 Don't tell your age<br />
If you remembered 11-14 You're positively ancient!<br />
I must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are some of the best<br />
parts of my life.
