I promise never to grow old

The whole aging thing is inevitable. Most people resign and figure there is nothing they can do about it. Screw that. I know old people who don't ACT like old people and I think that's the key.

So here's my pledge to you. Help create a better future for everyone and pass it along. Email it to a friend (click the little envelope icon at the bottom of the post) or print out this PDF and stash it somewhere amongst your stuff in a place where you won't find it for years. You know, like in your copy of the bible.



I, __________________________________, promise never to be a crotchety old person.

I promise never to drive UNDER the speed limit, and if anything, drive OVER it.

I promise never to wear 'Old person' Clothes. You know, the stuff you have to wade through by the ton at Goodwill to find the good stuff. Nobody wore that stuff when they were in their prime, so they shouldn't wear it when they're old.

I promise to keep my health up so I won't need a walker or a cane. And if I do need a cane, I promise that it will be the type that pimps use, with a sword in it and a solid gold handle.

I promise never to bore the crap out of the younger folks around by talking about how hard things were back in my day. Everyone knows the generation before them had it rougher. Let's just agree on that and be done with it.

I promise to keep up with technology so I don't appear to be the confused old fart who is afraid to touch my grandkid's computers and gadgets.

I promise to keep a somewhat open mind and try not to get 'set in my ways'. You know how stubborn grandpa can be. Let's try and keep it cordial at least.

And last but not least, I promise never to use the term 'Sonny' in reference to a younger person than myself.



From a man apparently struggling with his own age,
