I would have bought all the $5, 1911s, $10, M1s and M2s out of those comic books that I could afford. I also recall being able to buy 80 acres for $4-5000 and it be good properties. Last but not least. Would have thrown the toaster in the bathtub with the first wife. Just told the cops she asked for toast.
1. That you should not believe everything people tell you including teachers/professors;
2. That writing things down commits it to memory rather than just reading something;
3. That when you are young, experiment with as many things as you can because with age comes responsibility;
4. That you really do only have a few true friends in life;
5. That work friends fade with the job, and no matter how long you work for a company they forget who you are shortly after you leave;
6. That acquiring skills will be both financially beneficial as well as lead you into retirement with something to do;
7. That the need to make "it", whatever "it" is, does not need to occur before forty;
8. That age allows you to inquire knowledge;
9. That society treats age as it does older possessions;
10. Finally, as a recent song echoed, "every day above ground is a good day," and with age it's meaning becomes even more important.

90% of people don't give 2 shits about you. 99.9% of politicians want to **** you over.
"Don't have sex with Brenda"
I believe you're thinking of George Burns, who said "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself."
He also had a joke something about marrying a much younger woman, and when asked about the obvious age difference and what happens when one of them passes on, he answered, "Well, if she dies, she dies, and I'll find another one."
You too?
I was just wondering about that
