A laugh for us old Geezers

[Maggot]

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

Cool beans. Age has privileges. Like in the movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes." The older lady totals to sports car of the snotty young ladies who give her a dirty look.

She says to them, "Yeah? I have more insurance."

Gospel right there, brother maggot!

Slower, Older and Smarter isn’t a bad thing. Steady and consistent is where it is at.

I’ve, ahem, left my 50s behind me, and I still outwork and outperform the younger generation of cops. I think we’re doomed…

Im 73 and can still outwork most guys 1/3 my age, at least for several hours. No wasted motion, every lick counts because Ive done it so often for so long. I dont have the endurance I used to, and sure dont bounce back as quick.

FIFY

Not to rain on the ‘being old is cool too’ message… but I’m betting the fighter pilot also did all of that after his flight.

F1 car vs bus always comes out the same.

I hope that you may grow old and I mean that from the heart of my bottom. I mean, the bottom of my heart.

Fighter jet responded back. While you were doing that I flew back to base and ate a steak. Then returned here and watched my tracking radar to see that you flushed blue water over a population.

Troll the friendly skies in a Bus.........

 

[TheHorta]

Reminds me of an old joke:

There are two bulls — an old bull and a young bull — standing on a hill overlooking their herd of cows. The young bull says to the old bull “Hey, ol’ bull… whadda you say we run down there and get us one of them cows?” The old bull replies “Why don’t we just walk down and get them all?”

I'm almost 62 and I still like to go fast. There's nothing like driving fast. There's nothing like flying fast. Since my son got out of racing, I don't go fast as often as I'd like, but I wish I could.

My dream is to own a Challenger Demon on day. It won't be a looker, it will be a goer....

If you like quick off the line get a motor cycle.

Nope. Picked up too many dead riders in my early age.

Ain't no one getting out of here alive.

Just a few weeks ago a lady was killed on her way home. A tree fell and crushed her in her car just a few yards from her driveway. When it's your time.

That doesnt mean you should put a gun in your mouth, spin the cylinder and pull the trigger. The idea is to maximize your options.

But thats why I quit riding. Totaled my last bike and walked away with only bruises.

 

[BullGear]

I almost killed a rider year ago. I pulled out in front of him really NOT seeing him. Only by the grace of God did he have room to swerve and avoid going under my car.

Some people live in a bubble their whole life too scared/timid to live life. Will they lay on their death bed and wish they had done something? Maybe, maybe not. There's others that live doing the things that give them the sense of living.
I could care less how someone chooses to use the dash between birth and death. I sure don't want to have regerts.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

How about the guys that are in the legion fighting for the Ukraine? They are there because living on the edge is for them. Bonus that they are getting paid for it!

Different strokes....When I was younger I lived on the edge. Would have given you odds I wouldnt make it to 30 Somehow I did. At 73 I find a good meal, hot shower, and good night's sleep is a joy.

Or, she was being cast in the next "Final Destination."
