Oh goo! I didn't find them tasteless and insensitive!

They're hilarious and tiptoe perilously close to some truths :)

Cathy said...

That would be "good" not "goo" :-D

Duke said...

Ouch, that's cold.

ProudHillbilly said...

I particularly relate to 23, 15, and 13...

Rev. Paul said...

Cathy, you bet they "tiptoe perilously close to some truths" for me, too. Dang it.

Duke, I know. And I resemble far too many of them.

PH, I hear you. Fortunately, my front "yard" only has about 15'x20' of grass - which serves as a place to pile all the snow from the driveway. :)

Anonymous said...

I was gonna say my libido is overcooked and limp, but that would be tasteless and insensitive.

And, as I'm older that you, let me tell you, you young whippersnapper...

Uh, I forgot :-)

Thanks for the laughs!

Don't worry, gfa; if it's important, you'll ... um...

Heh the happiest day of my life was when I realized my testosterone level had finally dropped enough my brain actually worked when I was around pretty girls. It was a real eye opening experience. Like did you know women HAD faces just like us guys? I still do not know why they have faces but I know they do now.

Some parts of aging do have advantages.

Rev. Paul said...

Why do they have faces? So they can eat, of course. ;^)

Just hang in there, Preppy; the rest will come to you ... eventually.

Ajdshootist said...

Ouch to close for comfort,and boy are there some there i reckognise.

Rev. Paul said...

ajdshootist, I hear you loud & clear. Almost as loud as my knee popping, and there was something else, too ... if only I can remember what it was. :)

joated said...

Too many close to the truth for comfort. Especially 24, 21, 20, 13, 11,....

Rev. Paul said...

Not that far behind you, joated - and yeah, I'm in a lot of 'em, too.

eiaftinfo said...

You been spying on me Rev.???? :) Yep, any number of these hit a touch too close to home.

Rev. Paul said...

Didn't have to spy on you, eiftinfo - only needed to look in the mirror. Dang it.

Home on the Range said...

Add to that going to the beach in your bikini and having the Greenpeace people showing up to try and roll you back in the water.

Rev. Paul said...

Now see, Brigid, that wouldn't have occurred to me. :)

MO Bro said...

Well, I can't top any of those, but I'm way too close for comfort! (BYKT!)

DR said...

lol!

Rev. Paul said...

Bro, I understand. Some of us are closer to it than others, BYKT, too. :)

Thanks, DR.

One more:
When an "all nighter" means you didn't get up to pee even once!

An observation:
If you're over 50 and you get up in the morning and nothing hurts, check the obituaries to make sure you're not there!

Rev. Paul said...

Chris, that is so very, VERY true! Not to mention funny ... :)
