Friend who turned 50 today was told this at the birthday party...

1. Never miss an opportunity to take a leak before you leave the building.

2. Never trust a fart

3. Never, ever waste a good erection

When you turn 50 you spend half the time trying to remember someone's name and the other half looking for a place to take a leak, so to never pass one up is perfect advice. Oh yeah and for some reason, you forget to zip your pants.

I'm like that now. And no where near 50.

Glad everyone at work wears a name badge.... makes it a whole lot easier.

You must be doing something wrong if she still takes you shopping....unless your doing it just to get pulled along!

I've always been a proponent of never passing up an opportunity to take a leak, helps with maintaining concentration on the road!

later, Tom.


But, what do I know?

Just tripped over 63 and agree with all the above (that I can remember). Got a few years left, and as Willie Nelson said: "I've turned 75 and have outlived my p**ker".

Not yet!!!!


I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.

Here's my gripe about being over 50. I'm getting more scatterbrained, I.E., careless with where I put stuff. I'm a carpenter, so I'm always carrying tools and stuff around. I swear, somedays, I spend more time looking for where I put something down than I do working! And, I swear! A lot!

I've found that the following 3 things always apply.

1. Don't argue with the wife.

2. Don't argue with the wife.

3. Don't argue with the wife.

You will always loose.

They can always cut off supply.

I turned 50 last month and I can say those three are true. Add number 4 - being scatterbrained - i think of things and then they are gone.

Talk about turning 50....

My wife tells everybody we have a 50/50 relationship. She's in charge for the first 50 years and I get the second.

Only 15 more years to go.....sigh

52yo going on 53.
Took the day off to go for a Classic Club ride today.
Wondered why nobody was at the start venue.
Double checked my program only to find out the ride is on the same time next week & not today. I only hope dementia is not beginning to creep up on me?
As for other bodily functions, I think I've shared enough with this forum over the last couple of days with my AI experiences(and that's not air injection we're talking about either)
