Reasons for not wanting to get old...
 
1. Bending down and seeing your face fall in front of you

2. Wanting to wear comfortable shoes and beige trousers

3. Getting to the supermarket check out and then emptying the contents of
your wallet or purse onto the counter for the check out person to count
out

4. Wanting a tartan shopping trolley

5. Getting up at 5.30 every day for no reason

6. Queuing up with the other wrinklies for your pension

saw on a bumper sticker in the US once:

Be nice to your kids today!
(Remember, they chose your retirement home)[/

Prune juice, crappy cars, lots of doctors visits and having to take a battery of tablets, roll-on deoderant sticks, approaching the Hayflick limit...etc.
