emptyworld 0 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 It's my birthday today, someone sent me the below. Some of them are quite funny (and true in my case) -------------------------------- 25 SIGNS THAT PROVE - "YOU'VE GROWN UP" 1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. 2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. 3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. 5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator. 6. You watch the Weather Channel. 7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. 8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. 9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." 10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo. 11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. 12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. 13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. 14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers. 15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. 16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. 17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. 18. Eating a basket of buffalo wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather han settle, your stomach. 19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and regnancy tests. 20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." 21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. 22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again." 23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is not for playing games. 24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar. 25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you. happy freakin' birthday. ----- Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 No. 25 should have been, 'everything on the list applies to you, and, quite frankily, you don't give a damn...' Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 The other day I asked one of my ski bum uncle's mates, who is pushing 50 and makes false teeth, "where he grew up?" and he said "I haven't!" Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I knew I was grown up when I left college and had to confront the real world and actually find money. Big big shock that was. Link to post Share on other sites
