This is my last post on age for at least a week. What’s up with the AARP? They have
been chasing me like the posse that was after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I never applied for membership.As far as I’m concerned it’s akin to getting notes from the mortuary telling you to start planning now.
Go away!

Dear future customer,
Allow us to so presumptuously address you in this fashion. You see, we've found that people of a certain age, such as yourself, can appreciate how sensitive we are to the ageing process -- we know what you're going through, and we're here to help you on the last leg of your journey through this travail known as life. And, we can assure you, you won't have to deal with its tribulations for much longer.
Congratulations on your recent birthday -- we ask you, for your sake and that of your wife and daughter, to contact us about a pre-need plan (although, in your case, it's almost not "pre"-need, is it? More like just "need"?). After all, once you're dead, no one's going to care where you wind up (and though we're fairly busy next week, we're sure we can squeeze you in).
Sincerely,
Leonard and Betty Kolcz
Kolcz Funeral Home, Inc.
AHHHHHH!!!!
I saw an ad on TV yesterday about AARP and said "if you are 40 or older."
WHAT??????????????
People keep telling me not to worry about 40, it's the new 30, so WTF?
Gosh, I hope I don't start receiving AARP. That would be creep me out, too. I'm only 48.
Being an AARP recruit can't be ALL bad. At least you get discount prices at the movies soon, right?:)
Janet, let's not rush any sooner than necessary. I believe the movie and other discounts start at 55+, I'll happily pay full price to not deal with all that, but I don't think I have a choice.
Trish, I keep hearing that too, I don't believe it -- I want to, but...
Rhea, I think you have until 49 1/2 before the applications start arriving.
Mr Kolcz, I have nothing to say to you.
I'm just kidding. I still like it when I get carded for a drink. It makes me feel like I'm beating time rather nicely.:)
On The Mark says: Go away! Even though the big 5-0 is 4 months away for me, I just got my AARP card and application in the mail. Go Away!!!!
