Trying to remember my third grade teachers name.

I don't remember what school I went to or what state we lived in when I was in third grade. It was either Alabama or Texas, pretty sure we were out of Hawaii by then.

So I always say;

I may have to steal that from you!

...Old when you take drugs to help you pee and then you can’t shut the dam thing off.

You used to count the minutes until that 3:10 school bell.
Now you wonder back what you got done this year besides putting on pants.

This movie was made a third of a century ago:

^ I always liked that movie, but even when it came out, thought it would be more realistic if they were COLLEGE students, not highschoolers.

Anyways- I guess I am getting old. I am starting a #gofundme startup for my jorts:

When you’re caught eyeballing a pretty young thing and she catches you, giving you a dirty old man look.

When you get to where it doesn't stink when you take a dump, and you think to yourself, "Boy, my **** doesn't stink anymore." Some time later you figure out it's because you've lost a lot of your sense of smell.

When you watch your favorite groups/bands/singers on Youtube and realize they are in their 70s or dead.

...when you realize you've become invisible to those pretty young things.

When your 50 year old divorced customer says to her daughter on speaker "I am hanging out with Bob and he's fixing my car" . Daughter asks "He's the old one, right?"

Confirmed
 
I was at the Apple Store around Christmas time looking for a new tri-fold cover for my old iPad Air2. They don’t make covers for that model anymore. Young girl tending to me said I could buy a foldable keyboard/cover on-line. She went on to say “seniors like the keyboards better sometimes…” OUCH
A couple weeks ago at the outset of this Covid-19 distancing thing, I was at the grocery store getting basket coffee filters. I was in the express line with just that one item. The guy behind me, probably mid 40s, says “You’re brave old man” for venturing out just for coffee filters!
Yep, I’m old and it’s been confirmed!
On the flip side, I'm 59 with a full head of wavy hair, and I still get smiles from the ladies. I'll take the "wins" where I get 'em:cool:

My last great boss was old by any standards, in his 90s. In his words he took "early retirement" at age 92.

Once he was in in 80s he learned being that age let you get away with a lot. He could flirt with pretty women, give them hugs, and no one felt threatened. The women all treated him like their harmless grandfather. He could say things to women that would get younger men in trouble.

I am in an organization, there was a guy in his early 80's that behaved that way.

He was asked to leave.... women smiled at him but complained and threatened a harassment suit.

Stupid behavior, especially these days.

The flip side of that is when an attractive woman appears to be looking at you,
(me - I straighten up & try to suck my gut in) she then asks
"Sir, do you happen to know what time it is?"

Cheers

^ More women were (no longer since Under house arrest) were smiling at me until I realized they were giving me a kindly grandpa smile rather than flirty smile.
