To all you OWLS
(Older Wiser Laughing Souls)
Wisdom from Grandpa .
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg,
depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets
so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better,
or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one;
but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred,
she will never turn into an old nag.
A foolish husband says to his wife,
"Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'.
No wife of mine is gonna work."
The bonds of matrimony are a good investment only when the interest is kept up.
Many girls like to marry a military man -
he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health,
and he's already used to taking orders.
Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth....
Remember about Algebra.
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is
that it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald,
they don't recognize you.
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
"The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
