The first three things to go with age are:

One genealogist to another: "I spend so much time on family history! If it weren't for my ancestors, I don't know what I'd do."


"If it weren't for your ancestors, you wouldn't have to worry about anything."

 

"How do you call a squirrel?"

"Climb a tree and act like a nut."

 


"I've been so busy since I retired! I don't know how I used to have time to work!"
