You Know You're Getting Old When....
I'll be 36 years old if a few days and I've started to make a list of "you know you're getting old when...". I'll update it when I get a few more.
- Hair starts coming out of your ears. I went out and bought one of those nose and ear trimmers.
- Teenagers who tell you they've never heard of "The Beatles".
- Going to the bathroom takes more than 30 seconds and sometimes "hurts".
- You look in the mirror and yell "what the fuck, when did my eyebrows get so bushy?"
- You tell your kids that same old line, "there are kids in Africa who are starving to death. Eat your food!"
More to come...feel free to post their own.

Dude, having just turned 35 in Dec., I can totally relate. Here's a few of my own:
You hear music coming from a car stereo and say to your wife, "What the hell are kids listening to these days?"
More hair grows in places you don't expect it and less hair grows in places you do. I dealt with premature male pattern baldness years ago, but not only do I have hair growing out of (and on) my ears, but I also developed a patch of belly fur for the first time. WTF.
You fall asleep before the evening news. The six o'clock evening news, not the 11 o'clock.
Every time you rise off the couch or out of a chair, the motion is accompanied by an utterance like "Oy" or "Oh" or "Uhrgh."
You pay more attention to ads for mutual funds, heartburn remedies and anti-inflammation drugs than you do to the ads for fast cars and beer ads with Swedish bikini models.
The music being used in said mutual fund ads is stuff you listened to as a teenager (no shit here -- Fidelity is running a spot with Der Kommissar. Boy, was that a mindf**k).

You guys are just kids! At 48, I can tell you that you know you are REALLY old when both of your children are older than you were when you gave birth to them!

Dude, you don't need to be old to have hairy nose/ear/eyebrows! Just being Italian will do the trick! I'm only 26 and I got the eyebrow and nose hair goin' on. ;-D
