disconnectedzeitgeist : Seven Signs

Seven Signs

Creamy

There's a product advertised at the moment that claims to be able to reverse the seven signs of ageing without stating what they are.

In an exclusive revelation, based on years of experience of getting older, I can exclusively reveal the seven signs of ageing that this product tackles.

  1. Policemen looking younger
  2. Not watching Grange Hill any more
  3. All of your friends having children
  4. Being able to forecast the weather from how much your joints ache
  5. Everything's so much more expensive than it used to be
  6. Sometimes when you laugh, you pee a little
  7. You're not looking forward to the weekend, you're looking forward to retirement

It doesn't handle not being able to get it up three times in a night any more. That's not a sign of ageing, it's a sign of underuse.

I'm only suffering from 2 of those 7, but I still feel old. Why?

I knew there was a reason I still watched Grange Hill.

There's only seven?

Hmm...well, 1 certainly seems to be true as far as I can tell.
1 I stopped watching grange hill right about midway through High School. I preferred the cartoons. I still do.
3 seems mostly true.
4 I don't have this problem.
5 Yes and no. Some things are and some are not. I suppose I'll have to remain neutral on that one.
6 Nope
7 Re-tire-ment? I think by the time I get old enough to have done that it'll have been abolished because it's too expensive.

Anyway it's all in your head. Oh, and in the heads of marketing people.
