    Thoughts On Aging

    Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty. But everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out.

    There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory. I forget the other two.

    You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

    Middle age is when work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work.

    Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Isn't that a bad time for a guy to get those odds?

    You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you.

    Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

    By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.

    Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle.

    A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor instead of by the police.

    You know you're into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

    The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.

    You're getting old when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.

    You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.

    The cardiologist's diet: if it tastes good, spit it out.

    Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news: the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.

    It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

    You know you're getting old when you stop buying green bananas.

    Last Will and Testament: Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.

    When you lean over to pick something up off the floor, you ask yourself if there is anything else you need to do while you are down there.

    You find yourself in the middle of the stairway, and you can't remember if you were downstairs going up or upstairs going down.

    If Restaurants Functioned Like Microsoft

    Patron: Waiter!

    Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support. What seems to be the problem?

    Patron: There's a fly in my soup!

    Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.

    Patron: No, it's still there.

    Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup. Try eating it with a fork instead.

    Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

    Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl. What kind of bowl are you using?

    Patron: A SOUP bowl!

    Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem. How was the bowl set up?

    Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer. What has that to do with the fly in my soup?!

    Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?

    Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!

    Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?

    Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??

    Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.

    Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?

    Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.

    Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I'm running late now.

    [waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check]

    Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.

    Patron: This is potato soup.

    Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.

    Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.

    [waiter leaves.]

    Patron: Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!

    The check:

    Soup of the Day . . . . . . . $5.00

    Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day. . $2.50

    Access to support . . . . . . $1.00

    Image Comparison (part II)

    I decided to continue with my thoughts and let them take control over me. So far I don't have a clear idea of what I'm going to do.

    Some of the ideas that passed through my mind was:

    1. If both images are of the same size and PixelByPixel scan got more than 60% then those images are first type match.
    2. If images are NOT of the same size, and after enlarging the smaller one or shrinking the large one got more than 60% then those images are second type match.
    3. Images are scanned by corners as long as they are matching then if (similar corners/size of the image) > 40% Images are third type match.

    I'm still working on other matching types. I don't know how far will I go before I decide to ask someone professional for help but I'll keep trying fingerscrossed
