Retirement Humor

Retirement humor and funny retirement quotes are just what is needed on this otherwise serious occasion.  Whether it be a farewell or a retirement, here you will find plenty to create a happy moment on this auspicious occasion.

So why humor?

When you retire, the best celebration is one where there is lots of laughter, good cheer, and back slapping (gently of course).  So what better way than to include some funny retirement humor and quotes.

If you wish to be persuasive in your message, again these funny retirement quotes will help you get the message across.

You do not have to be a comedian.
Here is how to easily select and add humor to that retirement speech and have them laughing, enjoying your words and waiting for what next you are going to say.

Personally used

Here you will find the best quotes and ideas that I have used in my farewell speech over the years on the occasions when I have been farewelled, and when I was in management and had the occasion to farewell a valued colleague.

By thinking about your words, you will be able to transition to the quote seamlessly so that it fits and supports your speech. One example is using a phrase like “and as <name of Quote’s author> has said ...”

I am sure you will find just the right funny retirement quotes here for your retirement humor, or maybe it’s just a farewell.  Regardless, I hope you enjoy reading over these and selecting those best for you, as much as I did in going through my treasures to find them, having a laugh and in organising them for you here.

Are you anxious about your speech?

If you are anxious about your speech, here are some tips and ideas I use before each speaking occasion.  In particular, I find the music referenced here to be of immense benefit as it is written specifically to assist on such occasions.

This is an exciting occasion for you, and I wish you the very best wishes.
