Time for a trade-in...

If my body were a car, this is the time
I would be thinking about trading it in
for a newer model.

I have lumps and dents and scratches
in my finish and my paint job is getting
a little dull, but that's not the worst of it.

My fenders are too wide to be considered stylish.
They were once as sleek as a little MG;
now they look more like my mom's old Buick.

My seat cushions have split open at the seams.
My seats are sagging.

Seat belts? I gave up all belts when
Ben & Jerry's opened a shop in my neighborhood.

Air bags?  Forget it.
The only bags I have these days are under my eyes.
Not counting the saddlebags, of course.

I have soooooo many miles on my odometer.
Sure, I've been many places and seen many things,
but when is the last time an appraiser
factored life experiences against depreciation?

My headlights are out of focus
and it's especially hard to see things up close.

My reaction is not as graceful as it once was.
I slip and slide and skid and bump into things
even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.
I'm burning fuel at an inefficient rate.

But here's the worst of it:
almost every time I sneeze,
cough or sputter,
I leak fluids.

I'm so ready for a trade in!
Anyone know where
I can get a good deal?

I tried to do that! I walked into The Body Shoppe and said "Hi,I need a
new one! I'm not fussy, I'll even take last year's Rachel Welch version,
it doesn't have to be this year's model".  But the woman just looked at
me like she was going to call security, so I left :(

Hugsies,
Carole :)

Some people have absolutely no sense of humour. Sounds like you met one there.
