Older Than Dirt Club

I joined the OLDER THAN DIRT CLUB today. Now that I am 50, does this mean I'm a senior citizen? Do I get a senior discount, yet?

I honestly do not know where the time has gone. The funny thing is that you don't feel older on the inside.

So, are you as old as dirt? If you can pass this quiz then you are!
