Hi, everyone!
<br>
<br>
I found an interesting writing below on the corner of 'Herald News'.
<br>
But, I couldn't understand about the 'Games when we are older.' on the lower part of this posting. Can you do that for me? What do they mean?
<br>
And in my private view, it doesn't make sense those contents belong to the forties. ^^ Maybe it's for the sixty , huh?
<br>
<br>
<br>
THE PERKS OF BEING OVER 40:
<br>
<br>
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
<br>
<br>
2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
<br>
<br>
3. No one expects you to run a marathon.
<br>
<br>
4. People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"
<br>
<br>
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
<br>
<br>
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
<br>
<br>
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
<br>
<br>
8. You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.
<br>
<br>
9. You can live without sex but not without glasses.
<br>
<br>
10 You keep hearing about other peoples operations.
<br>
<br>
12. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
<br>
<br>
13. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
<br>
<br>
14. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
<br>
<br>
15. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
<br>
<br>
16. You sing along with elevator music.
<br>
<br>
17. Your eyes won't get much worse.
<br>
<br>
18. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
<br>
<br>
19. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
<br>
<br>
20. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
<br>
<br>
21. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
<br>
<br>
22. You can't remember who sent you this list.
<br>
<br>
<br>
GAMES FOR WHEN WE ARE OLDER:
<br>
<br>
1. Sag, You're it.
<br>
<br>
2. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy.
<br>
<br>
3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
<br>
<br>
4. Kick the bucket.
<br>
<br>
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
<br>
<br>
6. Doc Goose.
<br>
<br>
7. Simon says something incoherent.
<br>
<br>
8. Hide and go pee.
<br>
<br>
9 Spin the Bottle of Mylanta.
<br>
<br>
10. Musical recliners.
<br>
<br>
Did you read and enjoy them? ^^

첫댓글This seems for the over seventies not over forties. These days, average man's lifespan is extended easily to eighty or nineties and we often see many people get married in their thirties. Today's forties can be compared to yesterday's thirties or less. Above examples must be written long times ago.
It's probably good to laugh about oneself when one is old. I mean, like over 90 or 100. My parents are over 80 and I think they are still very young by being healthy and active, more so than me in many ways.
I must confess that I do have some of the above tendencies. For some reason, I hope the original author was an old person, making jokes about oneself. It's difficult to see myself as old though.
Agreed! Hi, smiley ! All you mentioned above are right. Myself also want you to smile after reading this writing. There might be nothing less than a warning for everyone not to lose one's vitality on each life.
Maybe my voice was too loud, wasn't it? sorry, but still I believe to retain one's youthfulness one has to keep young mind rather than young body. h h h, Sounds like I'm too old...
