Over The Hill Mylar Balloon
Some birthdays receive more attention than others. Those that have turned 49 know what I mean. While the Big 5-oh looms, consider these 49th birthday slogans that the celebrant should be allowed to utter:
- I’m chronologically gifted!
- Aged like fine wine, complex & fruity.
- I’m not old, I’m youthfully challenged.
- Are we the grownups yet?
- It’s not about age, it’s about attitude.
- Getting old stinks, but it sure beats the alternative.
- 49! I demand a recount.
- It’s just my birthday, I’m not extinct yet!
- 49! Not me, no way!
- It’s after fifty that everything that doesn’t hurt doesn’t work!
- Yes, me – Charter member, “Old farts hall of fame”.
- Fifty is the ultimate “F” word.
- I Love my 40′s, because I know what comes next? My 50′s!
- I’m not 49, I’m 18 with 31 years experience!
- I can’t believe I’m 49; 48 maybe, but never 49!
- Once over the hill, you pick up speed.
- My own mortality will be the death of me yet.
- How the hell’d I get this old?
- In dog years I’m dead.
- Naps & farts, that’s all I’m really good for these days.
- My wild oats have turned to mush.
- Old fart, young heart.
- Aged to perfection!
- I’m a classic, you only get better with age!
- Don’t interrupt me while I’m talking to myself.
- Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
- Age equals wisdom – hear this youngin’s?
- I’ll be spontaneous when I get around to it.
- Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
- I get everything I set my mind to. Now where’d I set my mind?
- I have the body of a god – Buddha!
- I’ll be kind to my kids; they’ll be choosing my nursing home.
- I’m immortal — so far!
- I will avenge myself and live long enough to be a problem to my kids!
- I’m cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
- Age is not a destination, it’s a journey!
- Due to budget cuts, the light at the end of my tunnel has been turned off.
- AND – He may rule the roost, but I rule the rooster!
