Social Security, AARP, and Coots

Has the lovely Felicity sized you for a set of coveralls (not overalls) yet?

They seem to be another of the distinguishing characteristics of coothood.

Actually, my friend, I got back at the lovely Felicity while she was out of the house, gloating on my elderly fate. I got her her own elderly discount card as my wife, even though she is not yet 40 (though she's getting close, never mind how close).

As for overalls, I don't own a pair of those, However, everyone in this small town, Highlands, NC, wears jeans. Even lawyers, doctors, ministers, etc., wear jeans here. That's 'cuz all of us have occasion to drive gravel roads, and handle brush and firewood, hereabouts.

Around here, 4-wheel drive is not a status symbol. It is a necessity to make sure you can get from your home to the grocery store and back when the weather turns bad. And when there's 30 inches of rain in 8 days (during Hurricane Ivan last year), the weather has definitely turned bad. LOL.

Cordially,

John / Billybob

Nononono.

COVERALLS.

Those one-piece garments that zip up the front-
predominantly worn by pilots, auto mechanics and COOTS.

You ain't a real coot until you've gone out to the salad bar at the Sizzler (before the natural dinner hour, of course) in coveralls.

welcome to cooterhood, John. That wonderful time of life we all look forward to, when at long last we finally know all the answers-unfortunately we have forgotten the questions.

The Democrats are as clueless about the need to fix Social Security as they are about the threat of terrorism-their haven from reality, like that of the Ostrich, is to stick their collective heads in the sand, or whatever other dark place may be convenient.

They would rather portray Bush as a paranoid opportunist than admit a problem actually exists and Bush has the cure, while they themselves are too d*mn stupid to fix it and too d*mn stubborn to allow anyone else to fix it.
