Funny pic/gif thread...

don't mess with old people

Two young businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store in the shopping mall. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves and display racks set up.

One said to the other, "I'll bet that any minute now some old person is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling."

Sure enough, just a moment later, a curious senior gentleman walked up to the window, looked around intensely and rapped on the glass. Then in a loud voice asked, "What are you selling' here?"

One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling ass-holes."

Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "You must be doing well. Only two left."
Seniors -- don't mess with them. They didn't get old by being stupid.
 
Hahaha. So true. And if one takes the time to sit down and listen to a Senior tell stories, you can also learn a lot.

I work at a Hospital but was at a Rehab Hospital doing Physio for a couple of months.

The rehab Hospital is also home to a Veterans Wing. One day at lunch, I spied an old fellow that looked like he might like some company.

I asked him if he minded that I sit down and join him. I did and wow, this guy was part of a Bomber crew in England.

From then on, I always looked for him and prodded him for more stories there after.
 
No disrespect to Monkeys

PSYCHOLOGY-101
HUMAN BEHAVIOR EXPERIMENT

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result -- ALL the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the Monkey Crap out of him.

After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment -- with enthusiasm -- because he is now part of the "team."

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how today's House and Senate operates; and this is why, from time to time:

ALL of the monkeys need to be
REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME!

DISCLAIMER: This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys.

Must've been somewhere around mid-80's, I'm guessing. I remember in 1990 or so, I was trying to decide if I was going to shell out $300 for a 10 or 20mb drive for my C128. I bet that thing would've cut some of those 15 minute load times down to at least 10 minutes. :embarrassed2: If I wanted to use the color modem program, I usually had enough time to take a shower and walk to the store a few blocks away.
