Maybe it's true that life begins at 50. But everything else starts to wear out, fall out or spread out. You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. Statistics show that at the age of 70, there are five women to every man. You know you're getting on in years when the women at the office start confiding in you.
Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.
By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere. Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends and have begun to grow in the middle. A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor instead of by the police. Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier. You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
