JSKY Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Right in the middle of this great home improvement project:::You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house.Mowing the lawn, putting a new fence in, painting the living room,or whatever. You are hot and sweaty. Covered in dirt or paint.You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit, shortswith the hole in the crotch, old t-shirt with a stain from whoknows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes.Right in the middle of this great home improvement project yourealize you need to run to Wal-Mart to get something to helpcomplete the job. Depending on your age you might do thefollowing...In your 20's:Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry yourhair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Checkyourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favoritecologne because you never know, you just might meet some hotchick while standing in the checkout lane.You went to school with the pretty girl running the register.In your 30's:Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt.Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for muchelse. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself inthe mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologneto cover the smell.The cute girl running the register is the kid sister tosomeone you went to school with.In your 40's:Stop what you are doing. Put a sweatshirt that is long enoughto cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on differentshoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologneis almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a tripto Wal-Mart. Check yourself in the mirror and do more suckingin than flexing.The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter'sage and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.In your 50's:Stop what you are doing. Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off yourhands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't wantto get dirt in your new sports car. Check yourself in themirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore becauseit makes you look fat.The cutie running the register smiles when she sees you comingand you think you still have it but then you remember the hatyou have on is from your buddy's bait shop and it says,"I Got Worms ".In your 60's:Stop what you aredoing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose off the dog poop offyour shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's.You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the holein your pants.The girl running the register may be cute but you don't haveyour glasses on so you are not sure.In your 70's:Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Wal-Mart until theyhave your prescriptions ready too. Don't even notice the dogpoop on your shoes.The young thing at the register smiles at you because youremind her of her grandfather.In your 80's:Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now youremember that you needed to go to Wal-Mart. Go to Wal-Martand wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for.Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name.and .....The old lady that greeted you at the front doorwent to school with you.

TheTerrorist_75 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hmmm. I go as I am. If I get a smile from the checkout girl it's because I still have it or something is hanging out the hole in my shorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
