As I rapidly approach my 92nd birthday my Niece
Jane presented me with a gem of a book.
It is called “Quips, Quotes and Retorts for Oldies”
It has such items in it as
“I know my secrets are safe with my friends, because at our
age they can’t remember them Either”
And
“Anyone who honestly believes that life begins at forty
overlooks the fact that so do Fallen Arches, Rheumatism, Faulty Eyesight and
the tendency to tell a story to the same person four or five times.”
Have I been afflicted? I just don’t know. But I must admit
that a lot of them made me chuckle to myself.
I think I MUST
be starting to get senile.
