Yes folks, it’s 10pm here in Australia (AEST) and at 4.00am tomorrow morning, I hit the big Five-O. Fifty fucking years old. Hiroshima Day for those with an historical bent, but for me, well it turns out that I’m now a geriatric.
Fifty.
FIFTY.
By golly, I’d better go write out my will and stuff, seeing as I’m ancient now!
Fifty sounds like such a dirty word. Forty-nine sounded so much more respectable.
Happy birthday, you old bastard. No doubt you’ll celebrate it with a VB. When you were a kid, you probably went out with the family to the local Choinese.
Don’t think of it as your 50th. Think of it as your 29th 21st.
The Seven Dwarfs send their best: Squinty, Itchy, Gassy, Saggy, Cranky, Snoozy & Gimpy.
Snow White died during a Botox session. And she was only 49.
I guess that’s why I was confused. To me, a ton is 2000 pounds, so 50 would be “I hit the 1/40th of a ton in 6 hours”. Doesn’t really have the same ring to it.
Just think 50 more years and you’ll get a telegram from the Queen (or King). And in you live another 100 years after that she’l personally come 'round and give you a bikini wax!
