Random thought of the moment.

Re: Random thought of the moment.
As we go along, I thought I would point out the advantages that come with being over 60 years of age. They are considerable:
- Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
- People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"
- People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
- There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
- You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.
- You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.
- You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
- You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
- You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
- You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
- You sing along with elevator music.
- Your eyes won't get much worse.
- Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
- You can't remember where you saw this list.

To be loved is to be fortunate, but to be hated is to achieve distinction.

Re: Random thought of the moment.
Why is it, while in the middle of a Christmas party, and after a bunch of drinks, that when I get handed an M-1 Garand, and I demonstrate the way to load the weapon (with armor piercing rounds), all the civilians get quiet with a scared look on their faces?
Geez! You don't shoot the damn thing until Christmas morning. Everyone knows that!![Rolling eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/o_icon_rolleyes.gif)
