Which one is Old Herbaceous?

Times were tough when he was young, his dad took the youngest to school in the family wheelbarrow, while the older kids went to work at t'mill. :twisted:

A man asked his doctor if he thought he'd live to be a hundred.

The doctor asked the man, "Do you smoke or drink?"

"No," he replied. "I've never done either."

"Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or fool around with women?" inquired the doctor.

"No, I've never done any of those things either."

"Well, then," said the doctor, "what do you want to live to be a hundred for?"

Come on OH spill the beans. You're not really 100 are you because that would make your mum, who's obviously still very nimble at missing hay trucks which seem to be aimed at her.. what age????? I think you're just trying to make the rest of us feel really creaky in our joints while you're still beavering away with that wheelbarrow
