Good natured humor should be part of any celebration - especially a retirement party. It requires finding just the right quote or joke. For that reason, I will list many quotes and stories so that you can select the most appropriate.

There are many ideas that can make your retirement party humor outrageously funny. For example, many or even all of the guests can wear a T-Shirt that has the same printed message such as: "RETIRED - Now I'm The Boss". Check the internet for more catchy phrases.

"You Are Probably Retired If ..."!

  • You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
  • It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
  • Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
  • Getting "lucky" means you remember where you left your car in the lot.
  • Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt; doesn't work.
  • You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.

RETIREMENT  TIME

Retirement is a time

For feeling glad to be alive,

A time when friendships blossom

And enthusiasms thrive.

A chance to do the special things

You always wished you could.

Retirement is a special time

For knowing...life is good.

Congratulations on your Retirement.

Retirement Party Humor - Jokes!

Today we would like to thank Albert for his service to our company.

Albert is someone who does not know the meaning of impossible task, who does not know the meaning of lunch break, who does not understand the meaning of the word no. 

So we have clubbed together and bought Albert a dictionary.

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that's not the worst of it.......

  • My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.......
  • My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather...... 
  • My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.....
  • It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.
  • My fuel rate burns inefficiently......

But here's the worst of it:

  • Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter: either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.
