I always figger 15 older than me . I told some one several years ago on my birthday when they asked how old I was , that when I hit 50 , I started counting backwards and with some luck I would get to before I was borned . So on my current math system I am 35 .

That's about the time I decided to put my birthdays on the Metric system everyone is so crazy about.
But I have a couple of issues:
Is there 10 days in a week? 10 weeks/100 days in a month? Is there 100 days in a year, or 1,000?
How many months in a year-- 10, or 100?
Being on the Metric system, when someone asks how old I am, since nobody understands it anyway,
so I can tell them anything. I might be 30, or 976---- nobody knows for sure.

I always liked working with the kids.
A few thought they'd cross swords with me from time to time. It never ended well for them.
Most of us in the shop usually brought our Lunch.
One kid thought it would be funny to hide my Lunch one day.
It wasn't. A few days later--- He got real upset when I put a rat trap in his.
I thought his reaction was real funny. Him, not so much. I told him I'd been playing "Payback is a MEDEVAC"*
when his parents were still in elementary school, and over the years, I had gotten real good at it.

We did that some in the Service:
That's a game where when someone plays a practical joke on you--
you have to play a better or more dangerous one on them. And so on and so on......
The game doesn't end until someone gives up, or has to go to the Emergency Room.

Last time I got my hair cut the gal doing it gave me a complementary eye brow trim.
You know your getting old when they trim your eye brows to get the hair out of your eyes.
We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.
When work started hiring college graduates that hadn’t been born when I started at the company, it started to dawn on me.

I haven`t been called Geezer yet.
I have been called "Old Fart" a lot.
I know that I have become an Old Fart when my barber had to cut the hair out of my ears so that my hearing aids would stay in place.
I am 80 years old.

Just had my 73rd on the 10th. I'm not old, but getting older. I tell young'ns not to call me sir, it makes me feel old.
I'm not an Old Geezer. "YET"
If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
"Old Geezer" is more of an attitude than a number on the calendar...
You talk to the TV
Your mouth filter no longer works ...
You start doing things your Dad did ... turning out lights , closing cabinet doors .
The high point to your week is going grocery shopping .
Your wife won't leave you unsupervised for more than 24 hours .
You try to show the sales clerk your I.D. card when buying beer .
When all you got left is nothing but faded memories ... then you is Old & Geezered !
All we can do is Keep On Keeping On ...

My wife say's I have always been one as long as she's known me . I was in my early 30's when we got married. She said I had a 34 year old body with a 90 year old thought process. I can live with that.

When you get up in the morning and it sounds like you stepped in a pile of dried leaves.
When you won't stoop down for any coin smaller than a quarter.
When a second cup of coffee is your definition of risk taking.
When you notice that half your graduating class is already passed on.
Friend, you're a geezer.

I am not "old." Yet ... maybe next year? But, I think we all may rightly be called Geezers when we reach a maturity where childish people's prophan tantrums don't mean anything at all to us.
I'm a born and raised southern boy, now living in the mountains of North Carolina. I grew up being taught to be polite and not to insult or humiliate others, especially old folks and women, if it can be avoided. I still try to live that way.
Like - I did a little grocery shopping for the wife yesterday. Some tender "young" (overweight and quite self-important 60ish) Karen with an irritating NYC accent walked up to me to vent her temper about something I did that she didn't like. When she finally slowed enough to gasp for breath I quietly asked her what part of the North she came from. She realized what I meant and that REALLY made her unhappy! I moved along but was amused and grinning the whole time, politely trying not to speak harshly or laff in her face. Even so, she became truly enraged when she finally realized she could neither offend me or make me angry because I clearly didn't care one way or the other about her childish public display and ill tempered frothing at the mouth.
Does that attitude make me a "mean old geezer" or am I still just an old phart?
