It was a quiet Tuesday morning in the sunlit common room of the Shady Pines Retirement Village, where three residents were gathered around a coffee table, sharing their daily grievances about the inevitable march of time.
Arthur, who had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday, shook his head in deep despair. “Sixty is the absolute worst age to be,” he declared, stirring his decaf coffee. “You constantly feel like you have to use the restroom. And most of the time, you stand at the porcelain throne, you wait, and absolutely nothing comes out!”
Bernard, a spry seventy-year-old, let out a hearty, knowing chuckle. “Ah, that’s nothing, Arthur,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “When you’re seventy, your entire digestive system just gives up the ghost. You don’t have a proper bowel movement anymore. You take the strong laxatives, you eat the bran muffins, you sit on the toilet reading the newspaper for hours… and still, nothing comes out!”
Walter, the serene and deeply wrinkled eighty-year-old at the end of the table, slowly lowered his crossword puzzle. He adjusted his thick spectacles and sighed heavily. “Actually, gentlemen, eighty is the worst age of all by a long shot.”
Arthur leaned forward, sympathetic. “Do you have trouble peeing too, Walter?”
“No, not really,” Walter replied smoothly. “I pee every single morning at exactly 6:00 AM. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock. No problem at all.”
Bernard raised an eyebrow. “And do you have trouble having a bowel movement?”
“Not at all,” Walter said, his voice steady and proud. “I have one every morning at exactly 6:30 AM. Like clockwork.”
Arthur stared at him, completely bewildered and growing increasingly exasperated. “Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00, and you poop every morning at 6:30. So what on earth is so tough about being eighty?!”
Walter looked Arthur dead in the eye, let out a long, weary sigh, and delivered the final blow:
“I don’t wake up until 7:00.”
