Or an abacus, for the really ancient.

Speaking of, that's how I taught my daughter arithmetic when she was a toddler.

Edit: oops, looks like someone beat me to it.

I still use my fingers.

You didn't crap your pants.

So I'm sitting behind a Jeep at a stop light yesterday when I spotted a small sticker on the back. All I could read was, "Honk if...", the rest was in fine print. So, I pulled up a little closer and saw:

Honk if
you shit your pants

Driver had grey hair.

Yes I was, and I still have my First Day of Issue Royal Cover Coronation Postage Stamps (2 1/2d 4d 1s3d 1s6d). Mounted together on a special envelope, and in pristine condition. And yet today, 70 years later worth approximately jack squat. Still cool though.

I did that just tonight! Damn, I'm old.

By the way, you're also old if you think Vanna looks young and hot!

I was around but too young to remember. I do, however remember the I like Ike buttons from the '52 presidential campaign. That was the same time frame.

If she's hot these days, it's due to hot flashes.

As I get older, my eyesight gets, for a lack of a better word, fuzzier. The cool thing about "fuzzier" eyesight is that everything looks a little bit better. Think of it as sort of like beer googles from back in the day. Through that lens, Vanna looks hot to me, but then again, so does Pat Sajak!

Those are my favorite sounds. I can even hear them when I have my hearing aids on.

You still say”turn on the radio”.
You sit down to eat and everyone else around you is staring at their phone.
The kids shooting next to you are barely older than some guns you bought brand new.
The young kids no longer like a cool sounding planet destroying car in rear wheel drive and stick.

You don’t know what all the letters in lgbtq+ mean and you don’t care enough to look it up.
If you did care, your initial urge is to ask a real person instead of “google it” or asking Siri.

This week I get the catheter for a BCG bladder treatment. At least it doesn't stay in any longer than it has to.
