Poor oldies!!!!

I just went and got some moolah out of the atm and saw a sad site that brought a tear to my eye. Like seventeen receipts, all from the same person, laying on the floor. I knew it was the same person, becuase they all said :"-$12.00"! It was like the poor dude had to check 17 fucking times to believe he wrote bad checks.

Far be it from me to admonish the guy, cuz I NEVER balance my check book. But what...did he think it would eventually go back to positive balance? Poor guy. My negative balance probs disappeared when I got my direct deposit tax refund the other day. WOOHOO!!! $1,200 in the can...

I went through the recycling rack at my building and found like 700 issues of Modern Maturity! Poor people 65 and older...here, in the autumn of your life, and the only freebie you get in life is a magazine that is a constant reminder that you:

A) Can no longer work

B) Will die awfully soon

Could there be a more depressing moment in a retired persons life when they receive their first issue of Modern M?

The thing was filled with ads for the latest elderly propulsion devices, designed to make geezers roar forward with kinetic excitement at a whopping 5 mph! Not exactly breaking the sound barrier. Poor oldies!
