I went to the grocery store today and made the big mistake of going on a Wednesday. In my local stores, Wednesday is “Senior Discount Day” and everybody over 60 years old is clogging the aisles to buy their groceries. The place is mobbed with gray haired old women and bald men with beer guts and dentures.

I don’t have anything against old people. I hope to be an old person one day, too. But there should be a limit as to how many old people can be in the store at one time – if there was a fire no one would be able to get out to safety.

OK – you know I’m just kidding here, don’t you? I’m glad the stores are giving the oldsters a discount on food – that means a lot to people tyring to get by on a fixed income.
