its a lot harder being bald, fat and old. trust me on this one.
I used to be insulted when I went somewhere, like a casino buffet, a movie, and the young 20 y/o at the register automatically charges me senior price. Now, I love it, accepted it, but a few years ago, it was tuff.
I once questioned a girl why she assumed I was over 55, and she got all red in the face, and had a great comeback, she said, you remind me of my uncle, , hes a cool guy, I hang out with him a lot, and you look around his age, and hes 54, but Im sorry.
I asked her if her uncle is a good looking man, she said, oh yea, for sure. I let her slide.
funny, when I was 56, I was insulted if someone offered me the 55 and over discount, now at 59, I have no problem fibbing and telling them oh yeah, Im 60, (the age for discounts at certain places)
young people just don't get it.
try explaining to a 24 y/o that climbing those 3 flights of stairs at 10:30 pm in the evening is a lot more difficult to do then it was at 10:30 in the morning.
My grandfather once told me, you know youre old when a good visit to the rest room makes your day(Ok, he didn't say that exactly, but I didn't want to be gross here)
