I used to know a couple who grew fruit trees together. They lived to a ripe old age. One benefit of old age is that your secrets are always safe with your friends They can’t remember them! Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind getting older, then it really doesn’t matter. An old lady is sitting at a bar when an older gentleman sits down beside her. “So,” he says, “Do I come here often?” Why should you marry someone older than you? As your looks fade, so will their eyesight. Love is like one long, sweet dream. Marriage is the alarm clock. Apparently saying, “Oh, this old thing?” isn’t an appropriate way to introduce my husband. What do you call someone who enjoys Mondays? Retired. You know you’re getting old … When your birthday cake is a fire hazard. The older you get …. The earlier it gets late.. With age comes wisdom … And hair in really weird places. Gill Bunker bbn@ldwa.org.uk
