Old Farts

[William Hardy]

How many of you Senior Marines does this apply to...?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD. WELL, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.



MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DENTAL SCHOOL DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY, WITH THE SAME NAME, HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?



UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED FAIRVIEW HIGH SCHOOL.



'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A BULLDOG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.

'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.

HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'

'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

THEN, THAT UGLY,

OLD,

BALD,

WRINKLED,

FAT ASS,

GRAY-HAIRED,

DECREPIT,

SON-OF-A-***** ASKED,

'WHAT DID YOU TEACH ???

I actually bought my first "granny chain" for my glasses. I'm bad about taking them off every now and then and forgetting where I put them later.

I bought a few of them - they're really pretty beaded things.

I'm thinking of painting my wallet, keys, glasses, yes, and even teeth, neon orange so I won't have trouble finding them when I need them.
Talk about "Old Farts"...
When I was helping out with this last saturdays' Poolie function, I couldn't help but notice how fluid the Marines in attendance moved while "motivating the Poolies". My job was to mark, if the grenade that was tossed by each Poolie landed within specified area, and then pick up the thrown grenade and return it to the throwing spot. There were two lines of Poolies and two side-by-side coarses and two grenades to fetch and return. Needless to say, as hard as I tried, I wasn't as fluid as those Marines and the majority of the Poolies. Now, I don't think that I move that bad but the age difference certainly was evident. I don't know what happened to the bounce in my step. I honestly don't. I'd best be going now and try to find the television remote control. I swear it is around here somewhere. LOL.

When you wake up in the morning and can get out of the rack and take it one step at a time, you know it is going to be a good day.

Old farts should read the obits every morning....as long as you don't find your name, it's a good day.

Don't forget the classic old fart joke you can pull on your friends

Next time your co-workers or other group is together, you hang you head and tell them the story of how you just went to the doctors (or to the VA). After intensive testing the doctor told you that you had this incurable disease that you will just have to live with...CRS. You will always have someone who will bite and ask you what CRS is....Can't Remember Sh!t.

[Osotogary]

CRS is....Can't Remember Sh!t.
I didn't have to go to the doctor to find that out. LOL
A great day is one bowel movement away.
