Oh, I am obviously in the wrong retired job - househusband!

Not only do I work longer hours for no thanks, but I get bullied by the “Boss” who come home and demands to see a work sheet or I get rollocked! Rolling Eyes

Oh and I can’t do anything right. On Tuesday I got told I’d like a salad for tea. She duely got one. So thinking this was on a cert, she got a salad yesterday too. Well, if I did, I got, “I am not a f Censored g rabbit, you gave me that yesterday you must think I am fat, you b Censored d. Big Cry

I think she got kicked out of the Marines for using foul language! Whistle

A few "One-liners" on getting old & retirement

The best time to start thinking about your retirement is before the boss does.

Retirement is the time in your life when time is no longer money.

How do you know your old? People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"

Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

How many retirees to change a light bulb? Only one, but it might take all day.

You know you're getting old when you have more candles on your cake than friends at your birthday party.

hat does a 75-year-old woman have between her breasts that a 25-year-old doesn't?
Her navel !

Back in my day, we didn't watch TV while we ate dinner. We actually talked to each other. It was awful.

What does tightrope walking and getting a blowjob from Grandma have in common?
You don't look down.

I am so old I can tell the same joke every day. Some of my friends are so old, they will think it is a new joke every day.
 Am I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

Retirement is great until your knees give way and you need a new hip and until all the fags you smoked catch up with you! Mad
