The elderly serve a purpose...

Nothing could be further from the truth,

and let me quantify that statement by saying that the elderly is anyone over 60 and anyone who displays the same characteristics that an elderly person would.
that is a broad sweeping statement so ill articulate itby saying anyone who opens a conversation about the weather, whinging about the price of a $2.60 pensioner train ticket, Bert Newton (who is 68 some actually still are sane...He is not), and the whinging dickheads who I work with.

these men inparticular will come up with some insightful meaningful stuff....Then they'll say things like if a football team is losing "its not the coach out there missing the tackles" mate your an idiot, the 'coach' provides the game plan in 2006 not the strippers after the game like in 1965-75 when u were in your heyday now shutup and take your medicine.

back to old people in general how many times have you been driving down the street and had some oldtimer wearing a hat do something stupid in his vehicle, or some old lady just sitting there not moving arhhhhhh. The solution to this is simple and was tabled at a young Liberals meeting in Queensland and along with the nutrient extraction system originally published by Ross Perot, and that is G_PLATES. Simple and effective anyone over the age of 60 should have to use G-plates, so if your driving along with your youthful reaction times and vision that actually works then you spot a g-plate you will have plenty of time to take evasive action, as you can rest assured they will do something stupid. how Australian Pensioners Insurance can insure these ding-bats i do not know.

and what about the conviction opener....."hows about that sunshine" or "gee its meant to rain today" mate ill watch the news if I want a weather repot now beat it. That sad truth is this is the only thing that hasn't changed in the last 100 years is the only thing they have anything to talk about. Or they might stray into a story about how they had to wear an onion on their belt....Which was the style at the time. I am far to busy to listen to some oldtimer tell me something which is bleedingly obvious there are no clouds in the sky and its a nice day. IT WAS A NICE DAY until you ruined it by wasting my time telling me about something I can look to the sky and see myself.

but the real reason and the one that annoys me the most which is the the reason for this post, is old dickheads an footy. Nobody cares what you have to say... these are now professional athletes not knock about mates raping chicks and it being acceptable. Hence the reason the Tommy Raudonikas's of the world are driving cabs and the new age Footy player from Brisbane owns 4 macca's or the one from Sydney appears on dancing with the stars pursuing a media career (not that I condone that). Like touting players a tough, like forever youngy ( as tatooed on his back), IF he were tough he would bring a player down on first contact and not get bumped, if he were 'tough' he would not rely on his old man carrying him through the selection process. And hes just one example there are many more.

if old people spent as much effort on learning the differences in football or life in general as they do insisting on pronunciations like can-berra or I-talians the world would be a more tolerable place im not naive I know ill be old too one day but I'll
A) hang out with other old people and not waste young peoples time or
B) go ski diving without a parachute
