Default Mid Life crisis

So, I have just had my 44th birthday and I have a bit of a dilema

So which one should i do

Cut off my flowing greying curls of hair and wake up and realise I'm not a cool surfer

Start to lose some of my massive excess weight

Start to take an interest in women instead of men

Stop crying like a child about how far it is to go racing anywhere

Actually get a proper job as opposed to mowing some grass 1 afternoon a week

Or of course all of the above

What do you guys think ?

Man-Rules are quite clear on mid-life crises. There are only two acceptable solutions:

1 ) A Motorbike *
2 ) A Mistress **

Since you have no money, you can't really afford either. My advice therefore is to skip straight past this phase and into the post-midlife stage. Which means you should take up fishing!

* Rules state the motorbike must be absurdly powerful. A 50cc scooter is not acceptable. You can however choose between pretending to be a Hell's Angel on a Harley or a Power Ranger on a superbike - either is fine as long as you look ridiculous.

** Rules define a Mistress as a woman at most half your age - in your case no older than 22. This also sets the minimum legal age at which you can have a midlife crisis as 32 - any younger and the cops get involved.

Griff Griff Griff..... dont you realise you are Living The Dream ?!?

You are an inspiration for all male 40-somethings everywhere. We all have 'proper jobs'. Trust me, its not all its cracked up to be. And a lot of us dont have the mass of hair for having 'flowing curls', grey or not - keep them while you can ! Just stay as you are, the moment you start to 'grow up' youll be in check shirts and brogues before you realise it

Frankly half of o0ple would probably swap our lifestyle for yours straight away - im up for it, when can i start ?? Mow a lawn one afternoon a week ?? Game on...

Now, as your obviously having a mid-life crisis and ive been nice to you, can you let me pass you a couple of times tomorrow, or at least not lap me too much ?
