| But since the last time, I might have seen some of you folks I have had my 70th birthday. | 
| So, I now… Thank you very much. | 
| Thank you. | 
| Thank you. | 
| Yeah, I’m now 70 years old, and I like 70. Not as much as I liked 69. Well, 69 was always my favorite number. | 
| Now, I figure I’m 69 with one finger up my ass. | 
| But now that I’m an old fuck, and that’s what I consider myself to be, an old fuck. | 
| Old fuck is a very special term. | 
| It’s not like old man. | 
| Old man is different. | 
| Old man isn’t really a time in your life or a period of years. | 
| It’s an attitude. | 
| Old man is a point of view. | 
| It’s a way of looking at things. | 
| Some guys are old men when they’re in their 20’s. | 
| You’ve met guys like that. | 
| They’re just wired like old men. | 
| Not me. | 
| Not an old man and not an old fart because an old fart is kind of (sound). | 
| What I am is an old fuck. | 
| It’s kind of like a fat fuck, you know what I mean? | 
| Fat fuck, tall fuck, skinny fuck, short fuck, old fuck. | 
| Who’s the old fuck? | 
| That’s Georgie. | 
| Georgie’s the old fuck. | 
| In this respect, fuck is actually a synonym for the word fellow. | 
| But now that I’m an old fuck, I’m beginning to notice there’s some advantages to putting on a few extra years. | 
| The first one is you never have to carry anything heavy ever again. | 
| Everybody wants to help an old fuck. | 
| If you’ve got a big suitcase or something like that, you know, you just kind of go like this a little bit. | 
| You say, “Yeah, could you help me with this?” | 
| Say, “Yeah. | 
| Hey, how far you going?” | 
| “Indianapolis.” | 
| He wants to help? | 
| Fuck him. | 
| Put him to work. | 
| Take advantage of people. | 
| Another nice thing about getting old is you can leave any social event early just by saying you’re tired. | 
| Works great with family members. | 
| Just turn to the person next to you and say, “Geez, I’m getting tired, you know.” | 
| Oh, are you tired? | 
| Come on. | 
| Grandpa’s tired. | 
| Grandpa’s going to bed. | 
| Someone else says, “But it’s 7:30 in the morning.” | 
| There’s always one asshole in the family. | 
| But the best thing about getting old is you’re not responsible for remembering things anymore, even important things. | 
| “But it was your daughter’s funeral.” | 
| I forgot. | 
| You can even make believe you have Alzheimer’s disease. | 
| Ah, it’s a lot of fun. | 
| You look around the dining room table and you say, “Who are you people, and where is my horse?” | 
| Then you stare at your eldest son and say, “Agnes, I haven’t seen you since first communion.” | 
| Fucks them up. | 
| Fucks them up. | 
| They don’t know how to handle it. | 
| It takes them a week to get over that shit. | 
| And they start listening to you a lot more carefully from then on. | 
| So don’t be afraid to get old. | 
| It’s a great time of life. | 
| You get to take advantage of people, and you’re not responsible for anything. | 
| You can even shit in your pants. | 
| They expect it. | 
| I haven’t tried that yet, but I don’t rule it out. | 
| I’m keeping my options open. | 
| Everything is on the table. | 
| Perhaps that’s not the figure of speech I wanted right there. |
