24 THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BY MIDDLE AGE:

1. If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.

2. Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. It ain't the jeans that make your rear end look fat

5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well; stay fit; die anyway.

14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

I try to explain #24 to the junior programmers ("Yes, it make no sense, but code the system since that's the county wants") One day, I may get thorough

LOL, Kitsune, that reminds me of something my partner thinks would be a various dangerous thing to ask - though logical...

When asked the ultimate question - the one to which there is NO right answer ...

"does my bum look big in this?"

he should answer... "compared to what?"

Just cracks me up!

Like the age-old "*whine* Nothing I have matches!"
I say "Everything I've got is black, white, grey or OD green. Seriously, I can't help you, I'll never have the problem!"
I used that one for some time, then she caught me and got me back one day when I complained bitterly that I didn't have proper clothes for a job interview.
"Gee, hon, I've never HAD that problem!" :eek: :rolleyes:

My outfit that day ended up being 3/4 hers that day! SWMBO 1, Kitsu 0 :D
