ON BEING OLD

y'know everyone concentrates on the downside of being old. there's an upside which most ignore.

on the upside:

you get out of doing trivial demeaning activities.

"take out the garbage". "i''m too old and weak".

you can fake stuff

my arm hurts.

never be embarrassed

your pants fell down.   who cares.

avoiding visitors

bratty children with colds and other people keep out.

get out of doing anything

sorry, i forgot.

pretend you're deaf

huh?
