Yeah...I know. Two weeks ago, I was out with Da Boyz - the same crew I've
known for almost 20 years. I'm 51, and a youngster who's 47 started whining
about his health, followed by how all supermarket cashiers are idiots. We
took his drink away and told him we'd pants him and toss him in the parking
lot if he kept it up. He was starting to sound like my 82 old mother in law.
:-)

Heh - my Platoon has a reunion every year - kind of a last man alive
thing. We all put $100 into a kitty, placed under the control of a
lawyer (now a law firm) whose instructions were to make at least 10%
per annum reviewable every five years and the last man alive get's to
spend it with any charity he so desires. There's a French word for
it, but I can't remember what it is.

Anyway, last years annual event, one of the guys started with the same
crap only in this case he was complaining about the lack of roughage
in diets and it degraded from there with his complaints about his
health.

We threw a bucket of ice over his head. :)

All the best,

Tom
