It's a guy at work who's 50, Rik1471 has started by writing

"you know you've turned 50 when".. without thinking what the end will be. All the suggestions so far are a bit offensive.

eg.. "you're asleep, but people are worried you're dead!"

or "Your back goes out more than you do"

So helpful suggestions please

Cheers

But you can see it from there......

ajm

go to Clinton cards and copy one from there.

or bin the whole thing and just write:-

I'm not a pheasant plucker,
I'm not a plucking peasant,
thats why I got you this card...
and not a flucking present!

I suppose a non offensive one is

...you can say 'if' rather than when I retire...

But then again non-offensive and funny does'nt go hand in hand

"You know you're old when.. There's nothing left to learn the Hard Way" was the final edit

Ahem.................... Speaking from the lofty heights of 51 years of age..... 50 /51 is NOT old ! Just you lot wait 'till you get here (if you do), you'll be suprised at what the world has to offer you and what you can do that you couldn't when you were mere 20's 30's and 40's. Its a very, very nice feeling ~ suprisingly !
