Getting Old

Hey guys, listen up. Here's some trivia about age, and aging gracefully from Rodale Publishing.
  • First, what are the two things guys hate most about getting old? Getting shorter and going bald, in that order. And by age 70, the average man will shrink more than 1 inch, and 50 percent of men lose their hair to some degree, starting when they're about 22 years old.
  • Then, what are the top 3 medical procedures men use to look younger? Chemical peels, Botox and micro-dermabrasion. But if you're going for Botox, you need to ask two questions: "Are you a board certified plastic surgeon?" And "Do you use a different technique on men and women?" If they don't, run away, fast. In women, Botox freezes the forehead to accentuate the arch of the eyebrow to make them prettier. In men, you don't want pretty   you just want to erase the worry lines between the eyebrows.
  • Another trivia question about age and aging gracefully is, How many men will eventually need dentures? 1 out of 8.
  • And the final age-old question is, How many men actually look forward to being called "Grandpa"? That would be 2 out of 3.
