You know you're old when your high school is in The National Registry of Historic places and you are 2 yrs. older than the school.

Discovered fire just before I graduated. Thought about how a piece of wood shaped in a circle would work but decided it wouldn't be worth the effort.

I thought getting old was when sitting down or standing up you hear strange noises.

Then realize its coming from yourself.

My one Aunt passed away this week. I realized that I only have one Aunt and one Uncle left, and then I am part of the oldest generation in my family.

What a downer.

I thought it sucked when I started to lose my hair.

I know it sucks when I get out of the truck and it takes me 10 seconds to stand fully upright.

When a movie you took a girl to on a date shows up on late night classics channel. :(
For me it was "Summer of '42" this was considered racy in it's day with an R rating.

How about when you had your Summer of '42 twenty years before the movie was supposed to take place?

I remember when we only got 3 channels on TV, and to get one of them you had to go outside and move the antenna. Plus, we were all on telephone party lines.

My Daddy has ALWAYS had a remote control for his TV. I remember when *I* was it.

1) Getting old beats the alternative.

2) Everybody is younger than Ed Sr.

Old is never having to say you're sorry for what you can't remember you were supposed to have said or done.
