In the joking around during the grappling portion of the mma class I started going to, I comment that I’m going to pull an Andy Kaufman…and no one gets it…sigh…

Your knees start making mysterious crackling sounds.

You reference classic Seinfeld episodes and the younger people in the room look befuddled.

  • You start to use more palm than fist on your heavy bag.
  • When you see a beautiful girl, you ask whether her mother is single.

God help us all but Andy has been gone for almost a quarter of a century now…so yeah if you can remember Andy Kaufmann then, more than likely, you’re past 40…probably 50 or over.

You still remember that gasoline was 23 cents a gallon and restaurant only paid you $1.25 an hour for your dish washing job.

When $.75 bought you a slice o’pizza and a soda.

Those were the days!

you can recite dialogue from Buggs Bunny cartoons,

I was going to say that do you have an older sister?

  1. You forgot what to do next in the middle of long forms. And you have to start from the very beginning to remember.

  2. When your fellow kung fu brothers in the 70’s started to have students to teach in their own schools. and they asked you to endorse their opening, website or comment on their curriculum and videos.

  3. When almost of all of your teachers passed away in the 90’s, and you feel the need to write books and post videos.

  4. When the teachers that inspired you were not there anymore, and you feel the need to post info and take forefront to inspire the young people in the next generation.

  5. When you run out of breath, and you cannot finish the forms that you once have no sweat about.

  6. when your radio is on the station that broadcasting 70’ and 80’ oldies.

  7. when you have records of elvis, audiotape, 8 track, cd’s in your garage.

  8. when you start to have gray almost white beard and eyebrows.

  9. when you search music videos of bee gees from the 70’ on youtube.

You remember when you had to physically get up to turn a “UHF” dial on your TV to find what channel was playing “Action Theatre” on Sunday. And on that note, if you know who Bruce ‘Le’, or Bruce ‘Lai’ were.

the answer is 32

I asked a couple of the more beautiful young sales reps we have working for us when they think that a guy’s a little too old for them- both answered 32- needless to say, I walked away a little emasculated- I’m 34.
