AI Thread Summary
The discussion humorously reflects on aging and the inevitability of growing old. Participants acknowledge that aging is preferable to the alternative of not living at all. There’s a lighthearted exchange about the generational divide, particularly between yuppies and older individuals, with a recognition that yuppies will eventually become old themselves. The conversation includes a whimsical mention of a mythical fountain of youth, emphasizing the absurdity of trying to avoid aging. A quote from George Burns highlights a humorous perspective on life and mortality, reinforcing the acceptance of aging as a natural part of life.

Sensitive bumper that is.
 
Note to self: the natural enemy of a yuppie is an old person.
 
Note to same 'self': yuppies will become old persons if they are lucky.

If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

When I get up in the morning I check the obituaries page of the newspaper. If I'm not in there, I get dressed.
