Galloping Gertie Tries To Have A Baby

So now there's a 72 year old woman from Great Britain who wants to be a first time mommy. No matter how much it costs.
She's going through her seventh course of invitro-fertilization (IVF) and is now asking for women to donate their eggs, so that, she doesn't have to use a surrogate. This whole process started 20 years ago when she tried IVF with her own eggs.
I know, I know, there are arguments on boths sides as to why she should or why she shouldn't have a baby at 72 years old. Personally, the only positive I see out of this is that if she does get pregnant and has the baby, maybe she can get a bulk discount on diapers since her and her child will both need them.
Then again, maybe she doesn't know she is too damn old to have a baby. So let me help you honey....
If any three of these apply to you then you are too old to have a baby.
1. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
2. Your back goes out more than you do.
3. You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.
4. You have too much room in your house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
5. Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.
6. Your little black book only contains names that end in M.D.
7. You dream about prunes.
8. You wear black socks with sandals.
9. Just about everything on your body hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
10. You can live without sex but not without glasses.
11. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
12. You play games like "Spin the bottle of Mylanta" and "Red Rover, Red Rover, the Doctor says Bend Over"
And finally...
13. You have to change your underwear after every sneeze.
Well, Gertie, I hope this helps.
