Old age and pandemic humor

The devil whispered to me: “I’m coming for you!”  I whispered back, “Bring pizza.”
 Me: (Sobbing my heart out, eyes were swollen, nose red)…”I can’t see you anymore.  I am not going to  let you hurt me like this again!”
Trainer: “It was a sit up. You did one sit up.”
 
Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.
 
It’s weird being the same age as old people.
 
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older…this is not what I expected.
 
Life is like a helicopter.  I don’t know how to operate a helicopter.
 
Chocolate is God’s way of telling us he likes us a little bit chubby.
 
It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.
During the middle ages they celebrated the end of the plague with wine and orgies.  Does anyone know if there is anything planned when this one ends?
 
Never sing in the shower!  Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So, remember…Don’t sing!
 If 2020 was a math word-problem —If you’re going down a river at 2 MPH and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to re-shingle your roof?
 I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance 
 
If you can’t think of a word say “I forgot the English word for it.”  That way people will think you’re bilingual  instead of an idiot.
 
I’m at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.
 
The ups and downs of a pandemic.  One day you’re loving your bubble, doing work outs, baking banana bread and going for long walks and the next you’re crying, drinking gin for breakfast and missing people you don’t even like.
 
I’m at that age where my mind still thinks I’m 29, my humor suggests I’m 12, while my body mostly keeps asking if I’m sure I’m not dead yet.
 
Don’t be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you.  Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.
 
I’m getting tired of being part of a major historical event. 
 
I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do it’s because I missed my exit.
 
How many of us have looked around our family reunion and thought, “Well aren’t we just two clowns short of a circus?”
 
At what point can we just start using 2020 as profanity? As in: “That’s a load of 2020.”  or “What in the 2020.” or “abso-2020-lutely.”
 
You don’t realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up. 
 
We all get heavier as we get older, because there’s a lot more information in our heads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
 
This is the day dogs have been waiting for.  They realize their owners can’t leave the house and they get them 24/7. Dogs are rejoicing everywhere.  Cats are contemplating suicide.
 
If you are trying to impress me with your vehicle, it better be a food truck.

  1. These are laugh-out-loud great. My favorite is this one: If you can’t think of a word say “I forgot the English word for it.” That way people will think you’re bilingual instead of an idiot.

    That’s advice I will use for sure. And let’s see — what do I do for names i can’t remember? Maybe “I can’t remember Joe’s real name. ” Anyone got something better?

  2. Although you may have seen some of these before, we are glad you all are enjoying the ones today! You are welcome to suggest others to us as well!!

  3. Thanks for the much needed giggles! Thank God for our sense of humor…. It’s the only way to get through this all.
