Joe,

 JM>   When asked how I feel about aging I often say I don't mind, I've
 JM> known too many people over the years who never had the opportunity.

  This is true...what about all those who died before puberty??

 JM>   I read something once, and will mangle it, to the effect that as we
 JM> get older we stop lying about our age and begin to brag about it.

  I'm proud of every gray hair I have...and you've seen me. <G>

  My late father said for years that he was 19...and I believed him!!
When I passed him, I smelled a rat...or as my late wife said "there's
something rotten in Denmark, and it isn't the codfish". Then, it got
to be "So, you're 19, and your son is 42. There must be something in
the water". <G> The same was said about the water in the church
bapistry, when so many women got saved and became part of the choir.
Not long after, they were becoming pregnant. It reminds me of the
blooper "All ladies wishing to become pregnant, please see the pastor
in his study". <BG>

 JM>   He then says, "I think you brought me bad luck".

  To which, she pulls the plug on the instruments keeping him alive, 
and leaves the room. <BG>
