    Two businessmen in a new shopping mall
    were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new shop....

    As yet, the shop wasn't ready, 
    with only a few shelves set up.

    One said to the other, 
    "I bet any minute now some pensioner 
    is going to walk by, 
    put their face to the window, 
    and ask what we're selling."
     
    No sooner were the words out of his mouth 
    when, sure enough, a curious old woman walked to the window,  
    had a peek, and in a soft voice asked,

    "What are you selling here?" 

    One of the men replied sarcastically, 
    "We're selling ass-holes.."

    Without skipping a beat, the old dear said, 
    “Must be doing well.... 
    Only two left!."
     
     Don't mess with old people ! ! !

    i'm 54, but i remember my old man up at 4 in the morning and first thing would turn on the radio. 

    I took Chorus in High School and sang in the Junior & Senior Choir in church, I love the old 50's early 60's music and Gospel music from then..

    I've got 100's of the old songs, I would never put down someone's taste in modern music, it's your time now, I'm 70 years old, but what ever happened to the beautiful love songs?

    so your the guy blocking traffic going  3 under in the left lane :dunno:

     

    i can't count how many times i have been stopped in the past 30 years,  usually 1-2 times a year used to be more than that.  Usually if you treat them with respect they just send you on your way,  the 4 speeding tickets I have were written at 20 over and I was faster than that when stopped so i deserved it.   

    I drive 5 over everywhere using GPS, but seriously the nearest freeway is 50 miles away and it's very rare that we take the freeway, mostly very scenic back roads to everywhere.
