ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

[mjosparky 3]

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.

...and, never squat with your spurs on!
Doesn't have a whole helluva lot to do with gettin' old but, it's good advice.

I'll bet you can remember vividly the day that he and Wiley Post were killed in that plane crash. Goodness. It must have been awesome for you to be in your 30's and in the prime of your life back when that happened, Mike.

I hope I live long enough to have recollections like yours.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

Always remember Wiley Post and Connie Kalitta Drag racer both got their pilots licenses from an insurance settlement for getting an eye poked out. One still goes 250plus on a dragster. I always enjoyed Will's sayings. Still on of my favorites is the POPS thought "You dont qiut Skydiving because you get old you get old because you quit Sky diving". Keep in mind "any day above gound is a good one . any day way above ground like 14000 is even better.My main philosophy is "i will grow older but I'll never grow up.

When I turned 21 I thought the days of my friends telling me I wasn't old enough to play with them were over.

I was at Elsinore over the weekend and all my friends in SOS told me I was still to young to play with them.

It's all relative.
