grannyinthesky 0 #1 January 14, 2008 A friend just sent this to me. Quote60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS) As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her! . Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage! Andy Rooney is a really smart guy! I hadn't realized Andy had that much sense...."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #3 January 14, 2008 Quote Andy Rooney is a really smart guy! I hadn't realized Andy had that much sense.... He doesn't have all that much sense--he's pandering to the women in his audience. If he thinks there are no under-40 women who are smart, honest and dignified, he's just as full of shit as he would be if claiming that all women over 40 are fucked up. As for men being pigs, I plead "oink, oink".Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RastaRicanAir 0 #8 January 14, 2008 1) Thanks to a fellow internet skeptic for beating me to it. a) But seeing that Andy Rooney is a bloated sack of sh*t without either the gravitas to be a real commentator or the charisma to be a comedian, does that make it less credible or more so? 2) What the HELL is wrong with watching soccer, Madame Moderatrix?! Surely, it indicates you are living with a man with more finesse and aesthetic appreciation than the average "football"-watching gorilla. A woman who can watch at least the first half of a Liverpool game with me -with well-feigned interest- would get points added regardless of her age bracket. (Unless he's watching MSL, in which case, file the papers immediately.) and: 3) Ian, why does your avatar so closely resemble a young James Lipton? I gotta say, it's a little creepy. Granny, you obviously don't need quasi-anonymous internet ravings to validate your worth. Just remember that there are still men out there who would rather give up their "hardware" than wear yellow pants, and who -prior to 40- have already tired of 22 year old waitresses. ...................mostly. .....Now, I'm rinsing out my martini glass and going to bed.OrFunV/LocoBoca Rodriguez/Sonic Grieco/Muff Brother #4411 -"and ladies....messin with Robbie is venturing into territory you cant even imagine!-cuz Robbie is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
