SENIORITIS

One time my father-in-law was reflecting on his current status. "We old ginks are lucky. We can wear any combination of clothes and the younger ones will think 'Oh well, that just goes with the age.'

Wonder if that applies to spontaneous verbal comments that pop out at unguarded moments.  Last evening the waiter approached the table and to start the ordering ritual asked 'Are you thirsty?'

What a setup!  The imp with the pitchfork whispered in my ear to urge me on. I smiled at the waiter and said 'Thirsty? No, my name is'
 and gave him the handle I have carried since birth.

He spent the rest of the serving time looking for the attendants from the 'Looney Bin'.
