A large number of things in life get better as they age. Humans get wiser, cheese gets sharper, and gardens fill out, for instance. There are, however, an equally large number of things that do not get better with age:
- Food in the fridge – although, after a couple of days, coleslaw tastes better. For the most part, old food is poison.
- Jokes – eventually, they expire, because the context for them is no longer understood: hear the one about the Cesar and the aqueduct? Didn’t think so
- Computers – they lose 90% of their functionality after a few years because of software bloat and the need for more eye-candy. (there are, however exceptions to this rule, thanks to Linux)
- Bitterness and Hate - these two emotional succubi just mess you up more the longer they hang onto your soul
- Chain Smokers – these people don’t age well. Something to do with the fact that cigarette smoke is deadly? I dunno.
I could be wrong about most of that list, but trust me on the coleslaw. Two days is great. Two weeks… not so good.
What can you think of that doesn’t age well?

@jp: Not true… The longer they cook the better they RIP!
@TAP: Thanks buddy…. Glad to read, on the day before my birthday, that I won’t age well…… Yup, thanks a lot! But that’s why I gave up smoking chains and went back to cigarettes…… LoL

@Sirthinks
sorry about that, but there are always exceptions to the rule!
