SENIOR CITIZENS AREN'T TOO OLD! YOU'RE TOO YOUNG!

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable
deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take
responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

BUT, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the
senior citizens who took:

    The melody out of music,
    The pride out of appearance,
    The romance out of love,
    The commitment out of marriage,
    The responsibility out of parenthood,
    The togetherness out of the family,
    The learning out of education,
    The service out of patriotism,
    The religion out of school,
    The Golden Rule from rulers,
    The nativity scene out of cities,
    The civility out of behavior,
    The refinement out of language,
    The dedication out of employment,
    The prudence out of spending, or
    The ambition out of achievement.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance
from personal relationships and interactions with others!! Does anyone
under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner?

Just look at those old folks with tears in their eyes and pride in their
hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!

And, unless many of our younger generation learn to count, in the absence
of computers and calculators, they will be back to counting on fingers
and toes.

Remember ...

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell
happened!

Figures Can't Lie

The instructor was trying to drive home some truths. "Figures can't
lie," he declared. "For instance, if one man can build a house in 12
days, 12 men can build it in one day."

A puzzled student interrupted: "Then 288 men can build it in one
hour, 17,280 in one minute, and 1,036,809 in one second."

While the instructor was still gasping, the student went on: "And if
one ship can cross the Atlantic in 6 days, 6 ships can cross it in
one day. `Figures can't lie,' can they?"
