Wrinkles

Helen says you know you’re old when your sleep wrinkles stay all day.

When I was young, I used to practice laughing, so that my mouth wrinkles would turn up instead of down.

Lincoln once said that he would like to appoint a certain man to a cabinet position but that he didn’t like his looks. Someone remonstrated with him: “A man isn’t responsible for his looks.” [Probably thinking of Lincoln’s own looks.] Lincoln replied, “After forty, he is.”

A little child once asked Kathy Roberts if she were a grandma. "You're wrinkled enough to be one," he explained.

You know you’re old because of the wrinkles in your soul, the ones that stay all day, the ones you started working on long before you were forty.

The trick is to look into the mirror at any time of day and say, “Yep, that’s me.” [Some may wish to say, “Yes, that is I.”] If you can’t do that, don’t get wrinkle cream. Start laughing.
