You will certainly *hi* in your pyjamas and maybe you'll wonder why it seemed so funny, not so long ago.
Already have, once when I was pretty ill with food poisoning. Just because its hugely embarrasing at the time, doesn't mean I ddin't see the funny side.
In fact all the jokes you make about the old folk could equally be applied to young people with mental problems. Why not start a jokes thread about those people?
It depends on your outlook. I first heard a version of that joke from my late grandad.
We (mostly) all grow old, stuff stops working as well as it did once. It's a fact of life. If you can't accept, with good humour, the slight loss of dignity that old age will inevitably bring to us all (should we be lucky enough to get that far) then your'e in for a miserable time.
My grandparents never took old age too seriously and accepted its ravages with good grace. I hope I will do the same.
Sorry to spoil the party, but making old folk the butt of teenage jokes just gets my back up.
True, these particular jokes are at old peoples expense, just as there are jokes made on every division of people you can think of.
I fall into countless categories for various jokes and I don't find them an affront to my dignity, theyre just jokes.
When I'm older I'll still fall into many categories, just not all the same ones I do now.
