Bob you're at least ninety fucking years old so the stories about you
using anything metallic outside of a walker or portable crapper just
aren't believable.
Folks feel obligated to respond to you because it's kind of taboo to
ignore a geezer when they get to rambling, but in the back of their
minds they're hoping your home health aid will interject and take you
back home for a diaper change. Then you can sit in front of the TV and
watch Larry King Live with your volume cranked up to 100. Ah you old
folks. What good are ya? Other than keeping florists and pharmacies in
business do you goats have any redeeming values? And I don't count
employing negroid home attendants as a positive.
