First, let me thank Deb Whittam for challenging me with this one. I DO, in fact, have two quotes on aging:
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am. – Francis Bacon
Old age isn’t a battle; old age is a massacre – Philip Roth
(In the interests of full disclosure, I have to say that Francis Bacon was a seventeenth century playwright whose sister I dated a few times)
I’m not going to pick three bloggers but I would like to see Biff (sock, pow) provide two of his favorite quotes on aging…
Do you often date seventeenth century playwrights’ sisters?

Oh man. If Francis Bacon ever offended you, you could have come up with some sweet “Yo Mama” jokes.
“Yo Mama’s so old she remembers the Renaissance.”

“Yo mama’s so old, she has spectacles on her nose and a pouch on her side, her youthful hose well-saved a world too wide for her shrunk shank and her womanly voice turning to rasp, pipes and whistles in her sound… and, she’s FAT!”
