The Older I Get

The older I get, the more this comes true! When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.

The older I get, the more this comes true!

  • When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
  • To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it.
  • Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
  • It’s the start of a brand-new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.
  • The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
  • When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
  • I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
  • I had my patience tested. I’m negative.
  • Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.
  • If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, “Did you bring the money?”
  • When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say “nothing,” it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
  • I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
  • I run like the winded.
  • I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don’t know whose side I’m on.
  • When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, “Why, what did you hear?”
  • When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
  • I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
  • When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “east.”
  • Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That’ll freak you right out.
  • Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
  • My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.
