3. Time flies. You'll get your wish to look older before you realize it.

I was a court reporter years ago before computer-aided transcription, and would carry my equipment in two "suitcase" type of carriers. One day my car broke down, so there I am on the side of the road, trying to get a ride, wearing my suit and holding my little "suitcases."

A guy comes by, looks me over and says, "What's wrong?" I said, "I need to get to my job." He looks me over again with a wary eye and says, "You're not running away from home, are you?"

Bwhahahahaha.

I was 24.
