A spoonful of honey makes the medicine go down, and humor makes getting older more pleasant for us. I don’t know about you, but I like bits of humor to get through my days. So, here’s my top six, and let’s get to it.

1. The days are slow, but the years pile up fast. I’ll be eighty soon, how’d that happen so quickly? We’re remembering the moments, not the minutes of our lives.

2. If you think everyone is mumbling, they’re not, you need hearing aids. I’ve had an audiologist for over thirty years. I can hear you now.

3. Hair growth remedies not needed. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he? You’re not fuzzy either, get over it.

4. You need to clean the spinach from between your teeth. Better not talk to your neighbor either with the green between your teeth. It’s not St. Paddies day. No green required.

5. Your legs grow longer and your arms grow shorter as we get older, which makes toenail clipping nigh impossible. Begin a personal relationship with the local Podiatrist. He’ll take your money, and throw your toenail clippings away. It’s a give and take relationship.
