You know when you are getting old when...

A few more.

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

You feel like the night after, and you haven't been anywhere.
Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
You get winded playing chess.
Your children begin to look middle aged.
You're still chasing women but can't remember why.
A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge.
You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You walk with your head high trying to get used to your bifocals.
Your favorite part of the newspaper is "25 Years Ago Today..."
You turn out the light for economic reasons rather than romantic ones.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't.
You regret all those mistakes resisting temptation.
After painting the town red, you have to take a long rest before applying a second coat.
Dialing long distance wears you out.
You're startled the first time you are addressed as an old timer.
You just can't stand people who are intolerant.
The best part of your day is over when your alarm clock goes off.
You burn the midnight oil until 9 pm.
A fortune teller offers to read your face.
Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you watch a pretty girl go by.
The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
You have too much room in the house and not enough room in the medicine cabinet.

You start looking for places with senior discounts.

You get up at least once a night to use the facilities.

When you get up, your other half asks you to be quieter (knees popping)

The first thing you look at on a new golf course is, "how long does it play from "the senior tees"

Senior means a lot more now than it did your last year of high school

Time seems to pass at warp speed.

When songs you remember as pop hits are showing up on the oldies station.

No...you know what the worst is? When they come out with some song on the radio that you remember when it first came out and the announcer with a deep voice says, "Thirty-seven years ago today!"

That is the absolute worst! Thirty-seven years?? It seems like only yesterday....

You know your getting old when....One of your co-workers buys a historical documentery about Woodstock and asks you to sign it because you were there.

When songs you remember as pop hits are now used as elevator music.

I really hit me a few years ago when I heard the Rolling Stones on an elevator.

Cheers! Bill

You know you are getting to be the old guy at work when:

You graduated from high school before the new hire was born.

Your name begins with Mac or Mc and everyone at work calls you "Pop" or "Pops"

My brother experienced something similar. He is in the Army and is currently teaching at the music school.

He told me the last time I saw him that it had finally happened: He is now getting recruits who were born AFTER he entered the Army.
