Don't miss the last few lines......it will make you have tears in your eyes from laughing so hard...
I'm still chuckling..Heh Heh!!
****** 23 ADULT TRUTHS******
1 Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Light than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet
everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
Life just gets better as you get older doesn’t it?
I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart.
The place was packed but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music.
After a couple of songs I started to feel much better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me….
I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my IPod …….. and how was your day?
This is what happens when old people start using technology!

That was terrific and not to complain but the first football helmet ( a leather affair) was used in 1930 and then they were constantly improved on. In the 1950's they were using something that resembled plastic and were definitely plastic in the 1960s, face guards began also in the 1950's. But why let a few accuracies get in the way of a good story. lol. it was good though.
#3 (Take back nap complaint) hit me. I hope that my mother can hear my request for forgiveness for all the grief I gave her about taking a nap. I am sure that she was exhausted after all her chores done with no modern conveniences and tearing around after mischievous (and sometimes downright naughty) children, and needed a moment's quiet and some shut-eye as well. I thought of it often when I was teaching and after lunch wanted to say to my students, "Just do what ever you want, just do it silently. I need a nap!" Wonder how often I could have done that!

Yeh, I just kind of wad mine up (roll or what ever you want to call it) do I really care if my fitted sheet has wrinkles when I start to put it on the mattress? Don't most if not all of the wrinkles go out of it (or aren't visible) when I stretch it on the on the bed? and isn't it covered with a top sheet, blanket, and bedspread? I quit worrying about that when I got out of basic training in the military. lol
ON #1, I HAD A WATCH AND ALWAYS KNEW WHAT TIME IT WAS. NOWI HAVE TWO WATCHES AND I'M MOT SURE.

I think the sport he was referring to was ice hockey, not American football.
And I do enjoy dancing in the rain! I must, I live in Washington!
These are great, keep them coming.

I didn't think Ice Hockey was a sport. LOL.. I thought it was professional wrestling on ice.
I think at least 20 of these items apply to me. Thanks for the list.
I really liked the Starbucks story.
