The alternative to getting old is not acceptable to me. Any day I can get
out of bed in the morning without help is a good day.

I don't have "senior moments" when I can't recall something; I have
intellectual overload because I know more than you, your children and five
of your grandchildren, put together, and will find it when I can sort it
out.

I have a pacemaker, an artificial heart valve, hearing aids, bifocal
glasses
and orthotics in both shoes, but I can climb stairs faster than you. Being
almost bald makes it unnecessary to constantly brush my hair out of my
eyes.

Old is mind over matter -- if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

...but then you are only 29!

I have aged rapidly since the Gypsies stole me from the castle. My father,
the King, was myopic and couldn't see that the little boy they left in my
place was much more handsome than I and, alas, more intelligent. My mother,
whose stretch marks were almost fatal, never looked either at me or the
imposter, blaming me (and the other snotnosed brat) for the loss of her
beauty.

Forced to wear girls' clothing and dance for the entertainment of the
locals, I became despondent and began eating Cadbury's bitter chocolate and
drinking Fanta. I could tell you stories about the world's diplomats that
would curl your teeth and cause your hair to fall out.
