How Do You Know When Your Old?

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday...it was ten years late...but I celebrated it anyway. So I bought a lottery ticket.

In my previous post I stated that some people are too old to win the lottery...but I got questions on how do you know if you're too old to win... so here are some criteria or "tests" that I found to determine whether you should be allowed to play or not:

You are too old to win the lottery if more than one of these apply to you:
- If you are asked to slow down by your doctor instead of the police.
- If work is a lot less fun, and fun is a lot more work.
- If people keep telling you how good you look (and never did before).
- If they discontinue your blood type.
- If your birth certificate is a scroll of papyrus.
- If your walker has an airbag.
- If the Dead Sea was only sick when you were young.
- If you bend over to tie your shoes and then figure out what else to do while you're down there.

Remember - only old people say: "Age is only a number."
