A good-ole-boy
staggered home late after another
evening with his drinking buddies.
Shoes in left
hand to avoid waking his wife, he
tiptoed as quietly as he could toward
the stairs leading to their upstairs
bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step
in the darkened entryway. As he caught
himself by grabbing the banister, his
body swung around and he landed
heavily on his rump.
A whiskey
bottle in each back pocket broke and
made the landing especially painful.
Managing to suppress a yelp, he sprung
up, pulled down his pants and examined
his lacerated and bleeding cheeks in
the mirror of a nearby darkened
hallway, then managed to find a large
full box of band aids before
proceeding to place a patch as best he
could on each place he saw blood.
After hiding the now almost empty box,
he managed to shuffle and stumble his
way to bed.
Morning, he
awakens with screaming pain in head
and butt to find his wife staring at
him from across the room, and hears
her say: "You were drunk again last
night!!!"
Forcing
himself to ignore his agony, he looked
meekly at her and replied: "Now Hon,
why would you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," she
said, "there is the front door left
open, the glass at the bottom of the
stairs, the drops of blood trailing
through the house, and your bloodshot
eyes but, mostly....it's all those
band aids stuck on the downstairs
mirror!"

Some reflections on aging:
- Eventually you will
reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start
bragging about it.
- The older we get, the fewer things seem
worth waiting in line for.
- Some people try to turn back their
odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
- How old would you be if you didn't know
how old you are?
- When you are dissatisfied and would
like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
- You know you are getting old when
everything either dries up or leaks.
- I don't know how I got over the hill
without getting to the top.
- One of the many things no one tells you
about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
- Ah, being young is beautiful, but being
old is comfortable.
- Old age is when former classmates are
so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
- If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
- First you forget names, then you forget
faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when
you forget to pull it down.
- Long ago when men cursed and beat the
ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft... Today, it's
called golf.
