You know you're old when....

[-boatman-]

You remember $0.25 gas

When I was a kid I would walk to the store for lawn mower gas with a antifreeze jug and a quarter and

walk home with a gal of gas.

You have a 512 mb memory card and it's 10 times bigger (mb wise) than your first computer.

[Guest PapaB]

When you know what a keypunch operator did, and why.

[daddyo]

...people think your wife is your daughter.

[GuitaRx]

...you know what a BBS was.
...realize your phone has more computing power than your first half dozen computers.
...you know what a floppy disc looks like.

I used to run a BBS..

[frankmako]

when they bring you the retirement papers and you are many mango season older than the next guy in your unit.  when your handcuff key looks like something matt dillon used.

 

when you take out your backup gun, a j-frame with a tyler t-grip during qualifications and the rest of the units gathers around to see pops shoot the "old timer" gun.  when most guys in your unit don't know how to load/unload a wheel gun.

But, do you balls float in the bath tub?

[mav]

When you sit in a rocking chair and can't get it to rock.  I would also add that you are old when what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

I never put my balls in the tub... :hat:

[bersaguy]

When you remember taking a bath in a zinc tub in the kitchen and thinking you were rich.

You know what an 8" floppy looks like.

[xd shooter]

You know what the second use was for a Sears & Roebuck catalog was.

[Guest Bonedaddy]

I think I must be right on the cusp 'cause Po'Willie doesn't know whether to let shrinkage or gravity take control, anymore.

....when your prostrate can cause you to piss more rounds, at one standing, than your Mini 14.

When, despite your affection for the Porsche 911 you try to get in one and it hurts bad enough that you instantly have no desire to own one. ever.

Remember driving up to the gas station and saying, "Fill er up with ethyl."

And check the oil and tires!

and wash the windshield..

[xd shooter]

While you go take a leak & leave the truck unlocked with the windows down.

[Good_Steward]

...when you tell someone to roll up the window and they start pushing buttons.....

...when you tell that same someone that the high beam switch used to be on the floor board...

 

 

The dimmer switch should never have been moved from the floorboard, by the way. 

 

 

I think that's another sign that I may be old? Now, get off my damned lawn.

Growing up in the fifties in the mountains, a zinc bath tub in the back yard made us feel rich! The same tub served double duty holding hog fat during kill'n time!

Hey now! I may be 29 but my body feels like 69. Sports were rough on me when I was younger. I had back surgery at 26.

[Steelharp]

Remember driving up to the gas station and saying, "Fill er up with ethyl."

"Hey, Bob! I how's the new job at the gas station?"

 

"What job, Bill? I'm not working at the gas station."

 

"Huh. Somebody told me you was pumpin' ol' Ethyl..."
