A friend sent this to me and it's too good not to share.
In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forth right and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one . You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

Love this. For more reasons than I can even begin to share. LOL!

I'm with Andy on this one.
Love this post! He really is a smart one :-)
Funny stuff.
tr`ee, are you just saying that to get laid? Because if you are, it's very clever, and I salute you. (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to get the accent right on your name.)
Andy Rooney and Benjamin Franklin -- bless 'em both. If you ever get a chance, read what Franklin said about older women. He was quite a fellow, old Ben. But this stuff is great to hear. Especially when you remember 40 as a distant memory.
i can't stop laughing! This made my day.
Thank you for sharing. :)
Andy Rooney as a wise feminist. Who knew?
Aww, this is sweet. And true.
Pig, sausage...LMAF!
I see you are a fellow Snarkling...
Did you know she has a new blog up?
It's called Query Shark. (The link is on my sidebar.)
Very funny. My favorite line: she does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Great post.
Thanks for sharing this insight. Hey, we've finally made it onto 60 Minutes. :)
Robin, :-D
I actually honestly agree with Rooney.
Trée
Great punch line. Mickey Rooney always had interesting things to say about women.
Laughing, laughing, laughing. Love this!
