    Less teeth to brush (the replacement ones they give you brush themselves - overnight... and in a glass no less. Smart teeth?).

    No more morning wood!  That mean you can finally pee when you first get up in the morning -  (sadly, it's a hollow victory.  Since you have now have to make 9000 trips to the bathroom during the night, by morning there's no pee left in you).

    Actually, it's not like that. "Less teeth" is objectively incorrect. Plural nouns such as teeth, cars, or dogs ALWAYS pair with fewer. Singular nouns such as rain, snow, or sugar ALWAYS pair with less. Any grammar court judge would uphold the citation and find you guilty.

    Apart from being potty trained, not a lot. I'm a human rice Krispy - every time I move i go snap, crackle and pop.

      Being potty trained is not a result, neither directly nor indirectly, of becoming elderly though.

    I've had them for a while now and I get a lot of compliments.  I use Clairol's Shimmer Lights shampoo to keep them silvery and not yellowish.

    Good tip, thanks! I don't think yellowish would be a good look.

    No, it isn't.  That shampoo keeps the silver looking vibrant.
