Ran across this from looking up a site meter google find for "You know you're old when" ; which was the name of an old post of mine.
Thought it very clever, hope they don't mind me borrowing it for Joke Friday.
You know you're old when:

These are great. I would steal them myself except you stole them first - fair and square. Have a good weekend. Isn't 2007 better than 2006 was; at least so far?
Great stuff. Seeing old rockers onstage makes me think of my children's grandparents hitting the tour bus. Getting stoned, having you know what with groupies, et al.
It just doesn't seem natural. But then again, what does seem natural when money drives it?
A-law & s william: glad you enjoyed and yes definitely hopeing for a better 07.
Hits waaaaaay too close to home.
But funny.
love the list! :)
These are the tunes you hear in all the supermarkets in Naples, Florida :D which has become babyboomer land.
Think they know their target audience?
I can't help catching myself if I start humming or whistling while I'm in the market, I don't want it to be so obvious that I'm falling into their trap. This is my cue that I need to get out of there quickly!
s william. That's a hoot!
We were hippies before were aging boomers! Oh, what a time that was!
I just can't get pumped up about the Stones any more unless it's an old record! I think they look decrepit and I kind of chuckle watching Mick run around all those ramps and elevations. He must get oxygen between songs.
Love the list and love the little pic at the bottom.
