My last day as a non-geezer

I've been celebrating today as my last day as a non-geezer...or as I've been calling myself, a junior geezer.

Tomorrow, I turn 60 and become a full-fledged grizzled old coot, a geezer. And the best word of all: a pensioner!

Yeeeee Haaaawww!

Just remember, you're only as old as you act. Or as old as you think you are, so remeber to let the kid inside you out every once in a while.

PS Happy Birthday!

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. Congrats on your milestone.

Best wishes, Bill

Happy Birthday you crotchity old coot.

Hey, I think I enter geezerdom to a certain degree this September. Ill be 40. I know its freakin me out and my wife says that makes me officially old. I know thats halfway for most. I know for a fact Im wayyyyy past halfway, so I would say Im in geezerdom.

'Not to take away. Have a good one Rocky. \\

Hell Rocky, now that I think about it, you are a coot. Retired, grandpa and 60, all in a few months period. You are old.

Geezer.....hell, I work circles around my fellow troops and go
places the kids don't dare. You're as old as you let yourself be! Have a happy.

Hey Rocky

Now that you are an ol geezer.....Do ya feel any different?? Do "things" still work the same.. The following is for you now that you are an ol geezer. Words to remember!!



Old Guys

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man.
"You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time
you stand there and nothing comes out."
"Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy,
you
don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat
bran, sit
on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"

"Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age
of all."
"Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old.

"No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on
a flat rock; no problem at all."

"So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?"
"No, I have one every morning at 6:30."

Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, "You pee every morning
at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad
about being 80?"

I don't wake up until 7:00.

Grampa, geezer and retired all within a month. Whooeeee! Tires a feller out.

To show how well and truly I'm retired, consider that I just ordered a new set of golf clubs. Man, if that doesn't say it all, huh?

Not moving to Arizona or Florida, though. Still some hope for me, maybe...
