TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR SENIORS.

#1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.

#2 - “In Style” are the clothes that still fit.

#3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off.

#4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.

#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it.”

#6 - “On time” is when you get there.

#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound.

#8 - It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?

#9 - Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.

#10 - Growing old should have taken longer.

#11 - Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up.

#12 - You still haven't learned to act your age and hope you never will.

. . . And one more:

“One for the road” means peeing before you leave the house.

And that one for the road is my most important.

Regarding #9, I recently had a motorcycle accident and went through significant probing, prodding, examination, testing and questioning. Despite all that and the pain, lack of sleep, no food or water for nearly 12 hours, I was told by a couple of the employees that I don't look my age of 76. I told them they needed to see an optometrist.

I get that all the time when I tell them that I am 87!
