Got this from one of my friends and thought you all might enjoy this:

Men's Age as Determined by a Trip to Home Depot
>
>
>
> You are in the middle of some kind of project around the
> house - mowing the lawn, putting in a new fence, paintin the living room, or whatever. You are hot and sweaty,
> covered in dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes
> on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in the
> crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what,and an old pair of tennis shoes.
> Right in the middle of this great home improvement project
> you realize you need to run to Home Depot to get something to help complete the job. Depending on your age you might do the following:
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 20's:
> Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry
> your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean
> clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab
> of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register.
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 30's:
> Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt.
> Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favoritecologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the
> register is the kid sister to someone you went to school
> with.
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 40's:
> Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long
> enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put
> on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 50's:
> Stop what you are doing. Put a hat on; wipe the dirt off
> your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog doo-doo in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt
> anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Buddy's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms ..'
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 60's:
> Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog doo-doo off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure.
>

> -------------------------------------------------------------

> In your 70's:
> Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Home Depot until the drug store has your prescriptions ready, too. Don't even
> notice the dog doo-doo on your shoes. The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her
> grandfather.
>
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> -------------------
>
> In your 80's:
> Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again.
> Now you remember you needed to go to Home Depot. Go to Wal- Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name. You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door.

> What's a home deep hoe? Something for my garden?
> Where am I? Who am I? Why am I reading this? Did I send it? Did you? Who farted?

SunlitenSmiles 10-06-2011 04:31 AM

men......blah

i know several women in their 90's who can plan a quilt at the shop and know precisly what they need... and for example we are finishing up a quilt for one ladys grandchild where she bought the fabric and went home and laid down for a nap and never woke up. BTW all the fabric is perfectly co-ordinated and the correct amounts. just saying !!!

Cute. I'm going to send this to my dh's e-mail. Our grandsons always call him the Ole Geezer although he is only 61 so he will get a laugh out of this.

LenaBeena 10-06-2011 07:06 AM

Great! Especially with a husband in a lower category who thinks he is still in an upper one ;)
