Top Ten Reasons to Celebrate Turning 65

Eva  Gallant
Having watched David Letterman frequently, I thought I would write the top ten reasons to clelebrate turning 65:

10. I am now eligible for senior discounts at Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

9. I've probably been there, done that-I just don't remember it.

8. Anything I buy from here on probably won't have time to wear out.

7. I now qualify for Obama's Cash for Clunkers Program.

6. I could take up smoking and it probably would not have time to hurt me.

5. I no longer have to provide ID in order to by booze at the supermarket or liquor store.

4. I'm still young at heart, though slightly older in other places.

3. I now have an excuse to speed; I have to hurry or I'll forget where I was going.

2. It will be much harder now for those sexual harassment charges to stick.

AND, the number one reason to celebrate turning 65:

!. Now that I'm older, I thought it was great that I had acquired more patience; turns out, I just don't give a shit!
