    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    I still get carded for rated R movies. You have to be 17 to watch a rated R movie.

    I will never be old.

    Used to have a memory like a lock box, my mother's genes have been kicking in though. While heading off to teach class, I usually have to go back to the office 3 times to get my notes, book, pen, etc...

    I really am becoming a nutty professor. The white in the beard too only confirms it. But, I'm only 26.

    You know your getting old when you have to got to the bathroom and ten minutes later you remember.

    I was just going to put that one up. I generally fold them into my t-shirt collar and forget that they are there.

    I recently went through my morning ritual of picking cigars for my day. Lit the morning cigar went to work and found my Xikar and PB-207 missing. Haven't seen them since. Totally baffled, thing is I clearly remember lighting the cigar. Nothing after that.

    No, no, let 'em grow! That way you can use them later for a comb-over.

    Well I'm only 26 so this thread doesn't really apply to me yet. However I have enough gray hair now that its noticeable. Plus my beard is starting to go salt and pepper. Oh well. At least I'm not losing my hair...yet.
