George Carlin's Views on Aging>>

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old>is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited>about aging that you think in fractions.>> "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and>a half. You're four and a half, going on five!>> That's the key.>> You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the>next number, or even a few ahead.>> "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're>gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21.>Even the words sound like a ceremony . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!>> But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound>like bad milk! . He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now,>you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?>> You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.>> Whoa! Put on! the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it,>you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.>> But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!>> So you BECOME 2 1, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.>> You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a>day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!>> You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT>lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.>> And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I>Was JUST 92.">> Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a>little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!">> May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!>>
