Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

Don't go kicking and screaming, maybe it will go white.

Don't be afraid to ask for the discount, they never card you. Besides kids today can't do the math. Discounts start at 60 at some places.

Many places have senior discounts but don't list them. Never hurts to ask. 'Course the kid on the register has to ask the manager to 'punch it in'.

 

[GwenOnBass]

Don't forget to check for a senior menu. Smaller portions, smaller bill.

Someone's been to Perkins.

 

[spiritbass]

She probably appreciates the diversion...and the goings on at the salon.

Absolutely. Part of her social circle.

My sisters are both older than I am and they still won't won't let their hair go natural. Mom (86) was thinking about getting a wig, but hasn't. I'm still taking her to a weekly hair appointment...

My mom use to call the hair salon the "Beauty Shop".

 

[Fat Freddy]

Oh put the flats on the semi-hollowbody. The one with the big, scary, annoying troll that is the bridge.

It's scary if you're a Billy Goat Gruff!.....

 

[GwenOnBass]

The seats at those 'Beauty Shops' had ashtrays. So did airplane seats.

Okay, so no drugs or alcohol were involved. Strange.

Yep, half the food for 5% off the regular price.

Heck. I'm thinking about getting a wig! LOL

I was watching a movie the other day and the hospital room had ashtrays in it! From the 70's of course.

 

[spiritbass]

You know you're a GOF if you remember when smoking was allowed on airplanes. And don't call me Shirley...

[spiritbass]

If you like Leslie Nielsen, check out "Police Squad". Lot's 'o fun!

 

[GwenOnBass]

Watch Police Squad then watch Hill Street Blues.

Watch Police Squad then watch Hill Street Blues.

Ummmm no. But thank you.

It was not long ago (or maybe it was) that you see an ad like this in a magazine.

Not allowed....MANDATORY.........

Aaaah the good old days.....

Do you smoke after sex?

I was flying back to Philly once back in the day. The plane was full and I was in the first "non-smoking" row. Lady got on the plane late and the only seat left was next to me. She asked the stewardess if it was ok if she smoked and was told to ask the people sitting next to her. She turned to me and said: "Do you mind if I smoke?" I looked her in the eye and said: "Why, are you on fire?" She didn't find it nearly as amusing as I did and wouldn't even look at me for the rest of the flight. Go figure...

Okay, Phyllis.

Watch Police Squad then watch Hill Street Blues.

A great double feature is L.A. Story, then Grand Canyon. Steve Martin is in both films so that add a nice connection between the two of them. Both are wonderful movies, IMO.

P.S. As I think more about this incident, I realize I must have been flying OUT of Philly. During one of my several times through the Philly airport, I found an unmarked door with stairs leading up to the roof. Perfect for a pre-flight "burnt offering". I was pretty toasted by the time that woman came aboard and I couldn't help myself. I'm an even BIGGER smart@55 when I'm stoned...also explains why I found it amusing and she didn't.
