I always used a Bic pen. It fit perfectly.

The shape of the barrel really helped!

You know you're old when.....

Your joints pop like a bag of popcorn in the microwave during you walk to the pisser in the morning.

In the morning?

Get off my lawn, kid!

I make so many runs to the driver's lounge every night that my joints don't even have time to get crackly.....

I used to make frequent trips to the bathroom because of an enlarged prostate, but I’ve been taking medicine for it for 20+ years. Now I go once a night, usually.

I remember going to the movies and having to go to the bathroom. I'd stand there at the urinal and wait, and wait, and nothing would happen. So frustrating...

There's a scene in the movie Trouble With The Curve where Clint Eastwood is trying to take a piss and he can't go and he's standing there cussing at his dick. I know that feeling.

If you're asking what medicine I take it's finasteride. It works well but can have sexual side effects. I don't get any but some men do.

Supposed to help with male pattern hair loss as well. Maybe that's why I still have a full head of hair at 70.

Mine is 100% caused by the massive quantities of diuretics (aka: vitamin pee) that I'm prescribed to keep the ticker from drowning itself.

In all seriousness, my Apple Watch's exercise ring for 12 hours of standing is closed before noon many days because I'm up at least once per hour visiting the driver's lounge all night.....

Drives me bat shit crazy when I watch a TV commercial that's butchers the English language. Case in point a home repair place advertises "All things Basementy"

My grandfather corrected my vocabulary so much that it I remember it well.

I saw one of their trucks in our area once, but when I tried to look them up, I only found the national office. Doesn't appear to be a local office near us.

When we lived in SLC I saw a Big A auto parts delivery pickup with "your following another Big A truck."

There's a trucking company I see every now and then whose motto is "Service Unexcelled." Wifey and I are always wondering where they came up with "Unexcelled."

I'm not calling you out. I've done the same thing. I find it ironic when someone comments on someone else's grammar or spelling and has an error in their own grammar or spelling while making their point.

I get it. I do that to draw attention, guessing the same way the company uses it on TV. It just irks me to no end.
