Retirement Quotes

Retirement is still several years from now for most of us. Although occasionally it's mentioned in our messages. Marynat at times probably fed up with the ways of the bureacracy thinks of retiring soon. Danny also says he is thinking of retiring in the Philippines.

Eto naman iyong joke, pang-senior citizen din.

Old lady goes to Dr. "I have a problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. The farts never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20x since I've been here and I bet you didn't even notice.

Dr: I see, take these pills and come back next week.

Next week, lady goes back. "Dr., I didn't know what the hell you gave me. But now, my farts, although still silent, stink terrible!"

Dr: Very good! Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing.
