“People are always asking me when I’m going to retire. Why should I? I’ve got it two ways - I’m still making movies, and I’m a senior citizen, so I can see myself at half price.”
George F. Burns

“It's not my call. You have to ask those guys. I'm retired. You're asking the wrong guy. I would tell you honestly I couldn't play with a visor. But that doesn't mean I have all the answers.”
Wayne Gretzky
“When you look at the whole region, we make it really attractive to retired people. We call ourselves planners and town managers, but that doesn't mean we know how to make these things work right.”
Charles Watson
“Nobody wants to ask Joe when he might be retiring. It's the elephant in the room, and no one wants to speak up first.”

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
