I was happy to join the Coming of Age Club but "Geriatric", I think not:

YOU MAY BELONG TO THE GERIATRIC CLUB IF:

1) If your health is a topic of daily concern or conversation...
I CAN'T THINK OF A MORE BORING TOPIC.

2) If you have stopped counting gray hairs...
THANKFULLY I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GRAY TO WORRY ABOUT.

3) If you have lost touch with the music that the young folk listen to...
I HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD THAT KEEPS ME IN TOUCH AND I LIKE TODAY'S MUSIC.

4) If the music you listened to is called "Classic"...
IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH SOME OF IT IS BOUND TO BE TERMED CLASSIC.

5) If you find the clothing of today's youth impractical or otherwise of low standard...
I THINK IT LOOKS JUST LIKE WHAT WE WORE IN THE 60'S & 70'S.

6) If you can name more than six recent presidents in order...
NO PROBLEM.

7) If you find that young folk call you Ma'am or Sir...
I HATE BEING CALLED MA'AM.

8) If you find the daily news more interesting each year...
NO, NO AND NO.

9) If you vote...
YES, BUT NOT ALL OLD PEOPLE VOTE.

10) And what was the other one?
MY MEMORY IS FINE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I may be old but that is no reason to join a club with such boring standards. Thank you, but no thank you. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
