Happy Birthday, Mr. SVXFiles and others!!

Mr. SVXFiles, could you tell us what the world was like when dirt was first invented? Will you now be counting down on each birthday until you reach the age of 0??

Enjoy you special day. You have many around you that hold you in high esteem!

As may of us here, who were born in the first half of the last century, can attest, fifty is indeed a wonderful time. After that, things continue to get better or else just go to hell. I remember the following joke that I heard when I had my sixtieth. Made me feel good when I put it into perspective.


“Sixty is the worst age to be,” said the 60 year old. “You always feel like you have to pee. But most of the time, you just stand in front of the toilet and nothing comes out!”

“Aw, that's nothing!”, said the 70 year old. “By the time you reach seventy, you don't have a bowel movement anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, and sit on the toilet all day until your ass turns blue and still nothing comes out.”

“Actually,” said the 80 year old, “eighty is by far the worst age of all.”

“Do you have trouble peeing too?” asked the 60 year old.

“No, not really. I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock, no problem at all.”

“Then do you have trouble having a bowel movement?”

“No problem with that, either, I have a large one every morning at 6:30.”

With great exasperation, the 60 year old said, “Now let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and poop every morning at 6:30. So what the hell is so tough about being 80?

“But I don't wake up until 7:00.”


May your rear muffler never leak, your front strut remain firm and you always continue to have full line pressure Once again, enjoy your day.

Danny, just to be clear, Diana accidently logged on as me, and posted on three different threads, as me, by accident.
Then,my friends (Bill, Tom, Dave) took this opportunity to slam me.



Nice guys.
