Be sure to scroll all the way down.

 There are some great quotes on aging too. 

Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash

with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably

the greatest political sage this

country has ever known. 

Enjoy the following:

1.  Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 

2.  Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 

3.  There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman. . . neither works. 

4.  Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

5.  Always drink upstream from the herd. 

6.  If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 

7.  The quickest way to double your money

is to fold it and put it back in your pocket. 

8.  There are three kinds of men:

The ones that learn by reading. 

The few who learn by observation. 

The rest of them have to pee on the

electric fence and find out for themselves. 

9.  Good judgment comes from experience,

and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 

10.  If you're riding' ahead of the herd,

take a look back every now and then

to make sure it's still there. 

11.  Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a

whole lot easier'n puttin' it back. 

12.  After eating an entire bull, a mountain

lion felt so good he started roaring. 

He kept it up until a hunter

came along and shot him.  The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. 


ABOUT GROWING OLDER. . . 

First ~

Eventually you will reach a point when you

stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. 

Second ~

The older we get, the fewer things

seem worth waiting in line for. 

Third ~

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. 

Fourth ~

When you are dissatisfied and would

like to go back to youth, think of Algebra. 

Fifth ~

You know you are getting old when everything

either dries up or leaks. 

Sixth ~

I don't know how I got over the hill

without getting to the top. 

Seventh ~

One of the many things no one tells

you about aging is that it is such a

nice change from being young. 

Eighth ~

One must wait until evening

to see how splendid the day has been. 

Ninth ~

Being young is beautiful,

but being old is comfortable. 

Tenth ~

Long ago when men cursed and beat

the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. 

Today it's called golf. 

And finally ~

If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,

you won't have anything to laugh at

when you are old.
