what does this mean?

Question

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

or does anyone have any other quotes that i can put on a bday card for my dad who is turnging 51..

i need ideas to make a card for him

Answer 1

Old enough to know better... still too young to care.

Answer 2

I would interpret that quote in two different ways. One, as "life begins to be fun once you're over the hill"; or two, "you begin hurtling quickly toward death."

I like "the older the berry, the sweeter the wine."

However, know that people in their 50s don't consider themselves to be "old".

Answer 3

I believe your dad must have felt just like I did. I was told by all and sundry that I was over the hill but believe me, I never saw any hills, leave alone going over them!!!

Answer 4

over the hill generally means 40,50, or 60 years of age depending on who you are and it usually coincides with the baby boomer period....once youve reached that point it goes much faster for the rest of the ride...thats what it means

Answer 5

in old age your are a winner and a loser, you win because you have gained so much knowledge and experience, the way you lose is your too tired to use the knowledge and have no desire to use your experience, unless you go to the doctors for some viagra. lol.

Answer 6

Remind him that he can now get the senior citizens discount at some places of business. Think of all the money it will save him.

Answer 7
