one; I can't do both!"
"OLD" IS WHEN ...
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.
"OLD" IS WHEN ...

"OLD" IS WHEN ...
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
"OLD" IS WHEN ...
You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go
along.
"OLD" IS WHEN ...
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

"OLD" IS WHEN ....
"Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot.
"OLD" IS WHEN ...
