Just Rannin' Around

Monday, April 04, 2005

I found an interesting statement given by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes and thought that I would share a portion of it because it made me smile.

“As I grow in age, I value women who are 30+ most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

If a woman over 30 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.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.

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

Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.”

Heeheehee!

  • ive always been of the opinion that women get better with age, like a fine wine... though, grapes can also turn into raisins if left out to dry.
    i guess for those who cant/dont drink wine, raisins 'll have to do :]

  • I dig older women more than younger ones simply because they have been women longer.

    The woman is the crown jewel of God's creation. After all, he saved the best for last when he created Eve after everything else including man, right?

  • One occasionally stumbles on exceptions to what Mr. Rooney described--bless their little black hearts!

  • You must not be in my state because Utah is pulling the typical craziness that goes along with the changes in the seasons. One day we are in the mid-60's the next it is snowing. I love Spring however and am counting the days until it peers it's head around the corner to stay! Glad you are still around!

  • Ha! Just yesterday there was snow on the ground in the AM, and by 5:00 PM, it was a beautiful day for playing some ball.
