Advantages of getting old?

‘My face in the mirror
Isn't wrinkled or drawn
My house isn't dirty
The cobwebs are gone
My garden looks lovely
And so does my lawn
I think I might never
Put my glasses back on …’
(Stolen from the Internet)

I guess we don’t spend much time thinking of the advantages, do we? There must be some, let me think.
Well, one comes to mind. I know what’s going on at midnight, 2:00 A.M., 4:00 A.M. and when I wake up and can’t sleep any more at 5:45 A.M. I bet the kids don’t have any idea what’s happening at those hrs.
We always get the fresh food when we eat out at dinner-time, no cold or stale food at 5:30 in the afternoon. That is something good.
We don’t get any speeding tickets anymore, maybe an occasional polite reminder that our turn-signal is still on from the co-pilot.
When watching T.V., I don’t hear any of the annoying neighborhood noises anymore. With the volume up, I am the annoying neighborhood noise.
Old fart passes, that’s an advantage.
Wal-mart now has Senior Citizen parking, but 95% of everyone I see there are old farts.
Dressing in the morning; those dark blue jump-suits are looking better, but I don’t think I am quite there yet. But, it just doesn’t matter what you wear, no-one cares anymore.
