The
Prez Sez
Hi Folks,
And welcome to the December 2003 edition of our Newsletter.
I thought about what input I wanted to put into this edition and finally
decided that we've talked enough business, we've talked enough field issues;
let's have some fun! So here is a collection of mostly plagiarized items
that I've stolen here and there (but I don't remember where). Enjoy.
Ways To Tell You're Over The Hill
1. You find yourself starting to boogie to elevator
music.
2. It takes you an hour to undress, and another
hour to remember why.
3. You keep repeating yourself.
4. The tooth fairy has more of your teeth than you
do.
5. When people ask you what your favorite food is,
you tell them "soft."
6. You keep repeating yourself.
7. You realize you've developed a taste for milk
shakes of magnesia.
8.You join a mall-walking league.
9. Your pharmacist calls you by your first name.
10. You keep repeating yourself.
11. You complain that the cleaners have shrunk your cloths.
12. While sitting on a park bench, a Scout comes to help
you cross your legs.
13. Your insurance company sends you their calendar a
month at a time.
14. You keep repeating yourself.
15. You find your mouth making promises your body can't
keep.
