You Know You Are Old When

[Jstpssng]

Guess I'm not old yet, 'cause I don't understand that one.

I was waiting for somebody else to ask.

Bet you both have a full head of hair???

As you age, more things leave your body!

Involuntarily...

Not full, but probably 80%. Personally, I'd rather have it collect on the drain screen than in the trap where I have to snake it, but that's just me...

I manage a home rented to 3 nurses… mom and two daughters.

Very good renters and never any issues.

One day I got a message the tub/shower drain would not go down…

Thought nothing of it but little did I know it would be a 5 hour job under the house…

About 10 feet from the drain the pipe makes a turn and I found the biggest mass of long black hair… fist fulls of matted hair…

I added a new smaller strainer and so far ok.

I don't even want to understand that one.

Nothing leaves my body involuntarily, unless I'm infirmed with a stomach bug. Even then, with a toilet no more than 10 feet from any shower, I think I can control myself well enough to make it there.

(80 +10)/10 = ??
New math?

He killed himself at age 67.

A friend said he wants to die in a drunken whorehouse brawl on his 100th birthday.

One of my friends said "I want to die at 102, shot in the back by an irate husband."

Thank you. It was a bit over my math level anyways.
I only have 9 fingers, plus the one which I use to count them.

RE: Death

I have to say, my Uncle did it pretty well. Was a pilot his whole life, flew Corsairs in WWII, C119's afterward, then, ran an FBO at local airport and flew commercially spotting fish and crop dusting for the rest of his life. Sat down in his recliner one evening, fell asleep and never woke up.

Don't think I've ever seen one of those before. Then again, I've mostly lived where it was rural delivery, and the carriers used personal vehicles.
Given that most vehicles made in the last 20-odd years have large center consoles, it must be a PITA to deliver mail in a LH drive vehicle. ISTR maybe 20 years ago a number of area carriers had RH drive Suburus (probably specially ordered as a lot), but they didn't seem to stand up very well and were all gone within a couple years.

My 33 YO daughter just said that she only knows 2 people that carry handkerchiefs and I was one of them. I told her that way back, I used it more for her than for myself.

What's with these people wanting to die?
Only dying I want to do is tie dye.
I want to be 150 in the record book as world's oldest father and breaking the record.

Saw the Vietnamese taxi version on the one occasion when I arrived at a "civilized" part of Vietnam, 50+ years ago.
