Yes, the year 2000 is going to be a milestone. Recently, I passed a milestone.
- Gee, that must have been painful, Rick.
I turned 50, I actually did.
- One of those first boomers turning 50.
Things change as you get older.
When I was younger, it would be something like, "we're going to rock around the clock
tonight."
Now it's, "I'm going to walk around the block tonight."
Used to be, "we're going to shake, rattle, and roll."
Now it's, "my hands shake, my pills rattle, and my belly rolls."
Used to be, "Papa's got a brand new bag."
And now it's, "Papa's got a brand new hip."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I put the limp in Olympics.
I was undergoing a little physiotherapy there, have you ever had that?
I had to quit. I had to stop it.
I realized that I was actually paying a woman to make me less stiff.
Oh, the groan, okay.
This is all true. I don't make this up.
Your life isn't going over, Rick.
What can I do? My life is getting groans.
But I still try to stay young.
I read Playboy magazine, for instance.
Of course, nowadays it's like reading National Geographic.
It's just to see places that I'm never going to visit.
