PMS jokes aren't funny, period.
Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations.
Class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I hope there's no pop quiz.
Energizer bunny arrested. Charged with battery.
I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.
How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it!
Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils?
When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble.

As we look forward to 2017 and beyond, here's one thought for everyone:

"The older we get, the more we can't believe how old we are."

Happy New Year!

These words are over 300 years old and, for years,  I've quietly said them to myself on January 1, every year, for at least 30 years.  They have been my "every year" resolution.  No matter what your political/religioius convictions might be, maybe we could all get behind these words.

  “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” ―

I have had a plaque with those words in my office for 20 years.  Great minds think alike, Tom.

Happy New Year Day 2.  Watching the Rose Bowl game, USC versus Penn State.  51 years ago (yesterday) Mike Sheldrake and I worked as ushers at the 1966 game between UCLA and Michigan State, which turned out to be one of the all time great Rose Bowl contests.  I was privileged to work the game because Mike's dad, Eddie, was a UCLA grad and booster who had arranged for us to make a little extra scratch ushering and watching football that afternoon.  He was an All-America guard on the UCLA basketball team in 1950.  Eddie was all Bruins all the time. Still is. Thanks to Eddie and Mike for allowing me to participate and have this wonderful memory today.

Mike Sheldrake

Hey Mike, we also got $5 and a box lunch!

Michael Elliott

$5 was like $50 to me in those days!

I remember my first sales job at Carat, $1.35 an hour.   Thought I was doing really well.

For all of us celebrating anniversaries this year.

Good one Greg.

This is dedicated to all my classmates who are 70 or turning 70 in 2017:

And taking the tartar sauce with you!"

So 70 must be the new 25.  Love these inspirational photos.  I may get to be a good writer yet.

Steve Braden

Fabulous pictures and captions, Mike!  Thanks for sharing.

Once I get past the stiff joints and muscles anything is possible.  It is why we must stay active.

Great post Mike! My goal this year is to learn stand up paddleboarding!

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

Wow, Mike. How inspiring! This made me walk a mile and a half with my dog this morning instead of my usual half mile. I am determined to overcome these bad knees yet! Thank you for this, and Greg thanks to you for your homorous posts and to all of you for the wonderful contributions to our message forum. I won't turn 70 until May but my 94 year old Dad is still walking a mile several days a week.

Jerry Labuda

Great post Mike.

Gordon Reed

Great post. I love the attitude it shows and I try in my own way to imitate it. I took up burning wood for winter heat last year so now I go out and wield a splitting maul and a chain saw. I still ride my bike when weather permits, like any day it gets over about 30º and I don't hesitate to take long rides, like to SoCal.

Maybe I will live to be as old as some of those folks. I have a genetic head start because I can still go to see my dad in Florida, on my bike. He is living with his second wife in Orlando.
