Monday Funday: a day late and a dollar short this week

Just the usual batch of funny stuff for this week - enjoy!

Anyway, I thought this was funny:

Getting Old(er)

My retirement plan is basically hoping that by the time I'm 75, "living in a van" will be called "minimalist lifestyle design" and not "gave up." 😂
