Women over 40

In Karl Wiggins' absence, here I am cutting and pasting an email someone sent me this morning. Faily amusing and some parts (especially #s 3, 6 and 9) are quite right. For those who havent got there yet (dont worry, it's all good)... read it and remember.

Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes said:

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

1.If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And it's usually something more interesting.

2. A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,what she is, and what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of40 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

3. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it,they won't hesitate to shoot you.

4.Older women are generous with praise, even undeserved praise. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

5. A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows
her friends won't betray her.

6. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.

7. A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens.

8. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

9. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk and if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to worry where you stand with her.

10. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons . Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

11. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free." Here's an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

12. A woman over 40 will not lie next to you in bed and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
