Smooth Mover

“

A dapper gent in his mid eighties walked into an upscale cocktail lounge freshly groomed and scented with expensive after-shave. With a boutonniere in the lapel of his charcoal double-breasted suit, he presented quite the debonair image.

Seating himself next to a lovely younger lady in her mid seventies, he offered to buy here a drink and inquired, “So tell me dear, do I come here often?"

bocopro said...: Well, I'm a 72-yr-old who is startled by that stranger's face in the mirror each morning and often finds himself in a room without the slightest friggin clue as to why.

And I am not in the least offended by the joke. Rather, I applaud the guy's sense of pride in appearance, adventure, sociability, and optimistic approach toward life.; 1/4/13, 6:42 AM
I-RIGHT-I said...: Don't sweat the small stuff Homogenit, you'll forget it in a minute! Sorry for your trouble though, I can't be trusted around a stove myself so I know a bit of what you're talking about.; 1/4/13, 7:44 AM

*what's CRAFT stand for?
I forget...

Remember -- pooping yer pants is only bad when you forget who did it.

The rest of you need to grow some skin.

I have to put up with people slamming on the brakes in the middle of intersections who then look around trying to figure out which way they were going. I've had people stop me in the grocery store asking how to get to the front door (then they get in their cars and drive into traffic. Eeeek!); 1/4/13, 9:41 AM
leelu said...: ...I see the pc progs are ramping up. If you don't have a sense of humor about even the darkest thing, you become angry, bitter, and soon crazy.

I also suspect that this sort of faux outrage results frm something like "You don't know how I suffer every day, watching mom/dad.", which tells me it's not about mom or dad, but about the child "me".

Take my advice - forget about it.; 1/4/13, 10:42 AM
leelu said...: Oh, and "Celebrate Homogenety"... I suggest you celebrate differences. When the universe becomes homogenized, it will be nothing but a warm, grey goo. It's the differences that keep life interesting.; 1/4/13, 10:45 AM

Anonymous said...: Concern trolls seem to be out in force today. Third site I've been to today and all of them have been overrun. Maybe their checks (for being what they are) were delayed because of the holiday?? Think I've found one of the reasons obama is still asking for donations...
