When your 40, your too old to be...

Re: Re: The possibilities are almost endless...

I'm 42 and I was carded while buying beer, twice in the last six weeks. Go figure.

The first incident involved a female cashier. I think she was more curious then anything else.

The second incident was with some high school kid. I certainly hope he wasn't interested in me.

 

At 48, I don't buy green bananas...

True story:

Both my parents and my grandparents didn't start eating green banannas until they retired.

 

card everyone

It is far easier to train staff to "card everyone" than it is to have them try and figure out who looks under 25 to card.
Of couse me again, you really could look young for your age. LoL

 

Me again:

Maybe your grandparents didn't want to risk waiting for the bananas to ripen?

I also gave up starting Russian novels...

hmmm, things to avoid after 40

The classic, don't buy green banana.
Don't buy savings bonds which take time to mature.
Don't prepay subscriptions.
Don't buy lottery tickets.
Don't fill you car more than half full of gas at a time.
Don't save half a sandwich to finish later.
Don't watch the first half of a tv movie which finishes next week.
Do keep cash in your pocket.
Do get everything you can that is, buy now pay later.
Do Remind your relatives that the will gets updated based on who loves you more.
Do smile at your grandchildren as if there is no tomorrow.
and Do enjoy life.
All the best!

I did actually read a Russian novel but it was in my twenties. Crime and Punishment and yes it was.

The Russian character names were hard to keep straight.

I also made the mistake of taking a course in Eastern European history. Same problem - a definite lack of kings Charles, Henry and William.

 

After 40, I learned not to read Russian novels when I wanted to cheer up!

 

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Less than 11 hours to go till the BLACK BALLOON BIRTHDAY! The end is near, GASP, I'm fading, drif... Well It's soon to be all down hill and what a hill It's been! See you on the other side!!!

Are you sure there IS another side??

Nosborne, JD

 

Another Side

There is another side Luke. The dark side.

 

happy birthday David

Happy Birthday David!!!!
I guess you can't be a yankee doodle dandy, because you just missed being born on the 4th of July. LoL
If you count age in base 12, you still have 8 years to go to reach 40. However, you would have those odd years like t0.
All the best!

 

Cheer up, David!

You're only 28 (hex)!

bright side of over 40

On the bright side. Over 40 gets one closer to more interesting medical tests, prostate etc. Lol
All the best!

 

already been there, and have had two kidney stones.

aarp cards

Somewhere in the 40's you start receiving aarp cards in the mail. All the best!

 

Now that you're 40, you can start planning your first mid-life crisis. What will it be? A Porsche? Lamborghini? Anyway, I always feel that birthdays aren't that bad when you consider the alternative. Being worm food is infinitely worse!

mayer

 

When I turned 40, I ask for 3 things: A Ferrari, a plane and a divorce. It took me 6 months for the plane, 8 months for the car and 4 years for the divorce, but dammit, I got em all.

 

remember the guy's 40th birthday

A wife asked her husband what he wanted on his 40th birthday, reminding him that they only had a limited amount tospend.
He asked for a ferrai, to skydive, a night on the town at the risque clubs etc. The wife bristled at the risque clubs and quipped "I suppose you want a divorce too?"
He said, "I didn't think we could spend that much!"
All the best!

 

cops over 40

Actually, I am a deputy sheriff at a large agency in California. We routinely hire people in their early 40's. I am convinced that hiring the very young is usually a mistake for maturity and liability reasons. 40 is OK with me, as long as you can hold up your end of a fight.
