Andy Rooney’s Ode to Women over 40

Andy Rooney’s Ode to Women Over 40

I found this one over at merlot mom by info@merlotmom.com (merlotmom) and thought if you missed it on 60 minutes as I did, it was well worth sharing in a blog post:

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all.  Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will  never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, ‘What are you  thinking?’  She doesn’t care what you think.  If a woman over  40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around  whining about it.   She does something she wants to do,  and it’s usually more interesting.    Women over 40 are  dignified.  They  seldom have a screaming match with you  at the opera or in the middle of an expensive  restaurant.  Of  course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot  you if  they think they can get away with it.   Older women are  generous with praise,  often undeserved.   They know what  it’s like to be unappreciated. Women get  psychic as they age.   You never have to confess your sins to a woman over  40.  Once you get past a  wrinkle or two, a woman over 40  is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright  and honest.  They’ll tell you right off you are a jerk if  you are acting like one.   You don’t ever have to wonder  where you stand with her..  Yes, we praise women over 40 for a  multitude of reasons.  Unfortunately, it’s not  reciprocal.  For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot  woman over 40, there is a  bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants  making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.  Ladies, I   apologize.

For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the  cow when you can get the milk for free?’, here’s an update for you.    Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage.  Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig  just to get a little sausage!

GO ANDY!  GO ANDY!
