Some New Old Jokes

H.L. Mencken once said, “The older I get the more I realize there is no wisdom in age.” On the other hand, there is humor in it. And you can quote me on any of the following.

Terry’s Top Seven Things to Realize when You’re Not Getting Old, You’re Already There

1. Old age is the price you pay for living well past your best-by date
2. All you need to deal with old age is youth
3. Remember, you’re not getting older, you’re getting riper
4. When you’re old planning for the future just gets easier all the time
5. You may only be as young as you feel, but you won’t look it
6. Old age is when you can’t remember when you could remember when
7. Being old means you’re a survivor, but not for much longer

Oh-Oh Word Quiz

Click on cartoon to replay animation

After doing none last year, this is already the second word quiz of 2023. Might be a vintage year for vocabulary tests. Vintage, a word that comes from… ah, but that would be giving it away for some future quiz. Perhaps, maybe, could be, we’ll see.
