THINGS YOU LEARN IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH ~

Choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, “I’ll bet a doughnut wouldn’t have done this to me.

It only takes one slow-walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I’m a nice person.

It’s fine to eat a test grape in the produce section, but you take one bite of rotisserie chicken and it’s all, “Sir, you need to leave!”

One thing no one ever talks about, when it comes to being an older adult, is how much time we devote to keeping a cardboard box because it is, you know, a really good box.

I can’t believe I forgot to go to the gym today.  That’s seven years in a row, now.

If you dropped something when you were younger, you just picked it up.  When you’re older and you drop something, you stare at it for just a bit contemplating if you actually need it anymore.

I like to make lists.  I also like to leave them lying on the kitchen counter, and then guess what’s on the list when I am at the store.

Ask your doctor if a drug with 32 pages of side effects is bad for you.

I relabeled all of the jars in my wife’s spice rack.  I’m not in trouble yet, but the thyme is cumin.

The best way to get back on your feet is to miss two car payments.

I love bacon.  Sometimes I eat it twice a day.  It takes my mind off the terrible chest pains I keep getting.

Driver:  “What am I supposed to do with this speeding ticket?”

Officer:  “Keep it. When you collect four of them, you get a bicycle.”

I asked a supermarket employee where they kept the canned peaches.  He said, “I’ll see,” and walked away.  I asked another, and  he also said, “I’ll see,” and walked away.  In the end, I gave up and found them myself.  They’re in Aisle C.

I told my physical therapist that I broke my arm in two (2) places. He told me to stop going to those places.

I put our scale in the bathroom corner, and that’s where the little liar will stay until it apologizes.

When I was a kid, I used to watch the “Wizard of Oz” and wonder how someone could talk if they didn’t have a brain. Then I got Facebook.

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think, “That can’t be accurate!”

I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

Apparently RSVP’ing to a wedding invitation with “Maybe next time” isn’t the correct response.

A guy walks into a lumberyard and asks for some 2x4s.  The clerk asks, “How long do you need them?”  The guy answers, “A long time. We’re gonna build a house.”

I just burned 1,200 calories.  I forgot the pizza in the oven.

Who knew that the hardest thing about being an adult is figuring out what to fix for dinner, and doing it every single night for the rest of your life until you die?

I hate it when people act all intellectual and talk about Mozart when they’ve never even seen one of his paintings.

Never trust an electrician with no eyebrows.

My neighbor knocked on my front door at 3 a.m.  3AM!!!  Luckily, I was already up playing the bagpipes.

Instead of cleaning my house, I just watch an episode of “The Hoarders,” and think, “Wow!  My house looks great.
