Fwd: Fw: Ramblings of a Retired mind

Although not yet retired, I would love to try some of these



Ramblings of a Retired Mind - some thoughts.

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one, so, I'm wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people who avoided me just didn't like me.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans, and men should put pictures of their missing wives up at the mall!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie, for folks my age, and call it "Pumping Rust."

I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease: That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

I've come to realize that the secret to a happy life is not looking like Barbie or Ken and suffering through tofu and rice cakes to stay that way! It's eating chocolate, staying chunky and explain that you're really a perfect size 6, but you keep it covered with fat so it doesn't get scratched!


I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of an emergency' I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"



Why is it that every time I lose weight it finds me again?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do -- write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!





Just once, when someone says "How are you" (without really wanting to know), I'd like to say "Well, I can't keep my teeth in, I pee on myself every time I laugh, my hair is falling out, I cannot see where the heck I'm going most of the time, my back hurts and I pass gas every time I sneeze (and feel like sneezing right now)! I'll bet that'd cure 'em from asking again!

Love the one about keeping my size 6 from getting scratched.

I'm going to use that one at the next opportunity.

Thank you, Moose, for the cheery post.

Ya' know, you make a good point about the "post-office pictures"! I'd never thought about it like that before!

If somebody asks ME how I am, just to be "polite, and proper", I flat tell 'em---"You REALLY don't care anyway, do you?" And generally they will, indeed, agree that they don't give a rip! Except for the doctor---he says, "Why, of COURSE I do! How else will I know what EXTRA to add onto your chart, for billing?"

Bruno:As much as I would like to take credit for these, I can't. They were sent to me a long time ago.
At least your Doctor is HONEST when he tells you he is going to add on to the bill. Tell him you are fine and see if he takes anything off. LOL

When Doc asks me how I am, I just stare at him. When he looks uncomfortable enough, I pointedly remark: "That's what I came here for. How am I?"

Cat: maybe you should charge him. Great retirement fund.
