senior citizen
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent
football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen
sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to
understand his generation.
"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,"
the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear.
"The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space
travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars.
We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers
with light-speed processing ....and," pausing to take another
drink of beer.
The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and
said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were
young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little sh_t,
what are you doing for the next generation?"
The applause was resounding...I love senior citizens!!!

Yesterday my wife asked why I didn't do something useful with my time. She suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.
I did this and when I got home last night I told her that I had joined a parachute club.
She said "are you nuts? You're 72 years old and you're going to start jumping out of air planes?"
I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.
She said to me, "You idiot, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club!"
I'm in trouble again and don't know what to do! I signed up for five jumps a week!
Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier.0 -
And now they both work at Wal-Mart. One stocks shelves and the other greets you at the door. 0 -
The Wal-Mart thought was sad but true. At least the greeter smiles as he/she does their greeter thing. Come to think of it, it usually is a senior guy greeter ... I wonder why? 0 -

I would say because most younger people haven't the common curtesy or manners to perform the job.0 -
That was not a senior citizen. It was Ronald Reagan during his stint as Governor of California.
From the following link:
**************
The former president was telling a group once about his tumultuous days as governor of California during the rebellious sixties and early 70s. He said he had a meeting with some of the organizers of the protests. They came into his office wearing t-shirts and jeans, and some were barefoot.
Their spokesman began, "Governor, it's impossible for your generation to understand us.... You didn't grow up in a world of instant electronic communications, of cybernetics, of men computing in seconds what once took months, even years, or jet travel, nuclear power, and journeys into space...."
When the young man finished, Reagan said, "You're absolutely right. Our generation didn't have those things when we were growing up. We invented them."

My grandfather was born in horse and buggy days, and lived to see men walk on the moon. I doubt any coming generation will see that much change in one lifetime. 0
