“I was told that, saying “Oh, this old thing?” isn’t an appropriate way to introduce my wife.”
“I argued with my wife and finally yelled at her, ‘You know, I was a fool when I married you.’ She replied, ‘That may be true, but I was in love and didn’t notice it.’”
“I am careful to be kind to my kids. They will choose my nursing home.”
“I find retirement is wonderful. It’s doing nothing without worrying about getting caught.”
“I was warned not to be a lawn mower husband. I thought that would be a good thing. Then I found lawn mowers are hard to get started, emit foul odors, and don’t work half the time.”
“I knew it was time to retire when teens in my congregation were wearing clothing from my youth and calling it retro.”
“I’ve figured out that saying I’m aging gracefully is a nice way of saying you think I’m slowly looking worse.”

“From all harm safe in His sheltering arms
I'm living by faith and feel no alarm.”
