ABOUT THE WISDOM OF AGE
From Gary Palmer: (a good Watton, Norfolk, 'Blue Job' !)
I'm getting older, and now that I’m 'older' (closer to 100 than 10 but refusing to grow up), I pray that God grants me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

As the ageing process takes it's course I've discovered a few things I'd like to share:

* There are only three certainties in all of creation. You are born, you pay taxes, you die.

* I came into this world with nothing, and I still have most of it.

* There is no such thing as an honest politician.

* Once the only oats I got were the wild ones I sowed but now the only oats I'm likely to get are in muesli and come with prunes.

* I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.

* Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

* Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

* All the reports are in; life is now officially unfair.

* If all is not lost, where is it?

* It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

* Some days you're the dog; some days you're the lamp post.

* Not everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame.

* I wish the buck stopped here. I sure could use a few.

* Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

* Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

* One man’s work of art is another mans garbage but sometimes they're interchangeable.

* It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

* The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

* If you decide today that something no longer has a useful purpose and throw it away, tomorrow you'll discover a use for it.

* If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

* When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

* It's not hard to meet expenses - they're everywhere.

* The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Editorial Rule
 To qualify for inclusion in the B&C there is only one rule - something described must have been said to have happened. 
The authority is the Editor, British Army Review No 114 Dec 96, `If the facts don`t fit the legend, print the legend’.

However, the rules of good taste, respect and confidentiality are always applied.
