Old is When:

You buy 'Playboy' and ‘Penthouse’ to read the articles.

You remember where you put your car keys, but can't remember where you parked your car.

Your favorite music and movies are in the Bargain Bin.

You're proud of your new garage door opener.

You trade your Harley for a Corolla.

You can't remember if its 375 degrees for 60 minutes, or 60 degrees for 375 minutes.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You send your teeth out to get cleaned.

You have stomach trouble - you can't get all of it behind your belt.

You don't remember being absent-minded.

You watch The Weather Channel and PBS.

Middle-aged women offer you their seat on the bus.

"Lucky" means you remember where you parked your truck in the parking lot.

You have your pants pulled up almost to your armpits, complete with suspenders.

You don't care where your wife goes, as long as you don't have to go with her.

You can go out with “the boys” whenever you feel like it and your wife won’t care.

An "All Nighter" means not having to get up to go to the bathroom.

You're told to slow down by the doctor instead of the police.

You turn down an invitation to go skinny dipping with a bunch of hot young babes, because you’d rather stay home and watch the baseball game.

You buy your clothes at the Salvation Army thrift store.

You have table manners that would offend a monkey.

The people you walk with make sure you get the ice free part of the path.

When passing wind becomes a concern about extra laundry.

You take great delight in not retiring when others think you should.

I knew I was getting older when a friend asked me if I was getting any on the side and I replied that I didn't even know they moved it.

You now know more people in the cemetery, than those who are still walking around.

Old is having been there, done that, can't remember.

My son put my age into perspective on my birthday last year, when he said, " Just think Dad, you are now half as old as Canada."

I need mine raised as well, but likely for a different reason.

I keep dipping the berries in the toilet water

Default Getting old

You know your getting old when you wake up in the morning to find your pajama bottoms on insideout and backwards then realize that's probably how you put them on before you went to bed.

You have "Some-Timers Syndrome"

Sometimes you remember, sometimes you don't.

When I bend over to pick something up I stay there for a while looking to see if there is anything else to do while I`m down there.

- or you realize that that's how you put them on a few days ago. Why change to trousers when you'll only have put your jammys back on in a few hours?

It’s your 42 birthday in a couple days and you now prefer to sit down to urinate. Boo!

Nope, that's the reason! They do tend to sag and hang lower than your socks after a 10 mile hike!

You know you are old when you are having your 60th birthday again.
