Age is a state of mind...

All people fall into four basic age groups, and you can determine in which age group you belong by asking just one question: "What's the first thing you think of when someone says, 'Happy Hour'?"

...if it's "Happy hour means time to go outside and play with my friends," then you're a kid.

...if it's "Happy hour means getting together with friends after work for a few drinks," then you're young.

...if it's "Happy hour means having time for a short nap in the afternoon," then you're middle aged.

...and if it's "Happy hour is when the laxative kicks in and my bowel movements are regular," then you're old.
