    I know I am old when I can remember the first time I went to a strip show. I was 17 and just graduated from high school. A bunch of us went to Cleveland's shady side. We went to theater that had a stage and promised bare naked women. We got to observe Bomber Betty and her B-17 act. The act consisted of Betty dancing with propellers fixed to her boobs and with the music they rotated clockwise and counterclockwise . We were kind of drunk and had a great time.
    These days it is pole dancers with nothing left to the imagination.

    That's even got the new coax adapter so you don't have to screw the wires on separately.

    I know I'm an old guy because I used to help my Grandmother catch, kill, and pluck a chicken for Sunday dinner.

    I still do that...but the chickens are mine

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Oh, the smell of hot chicken feathers, I much preferred scrapping hogs to that one.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    You've mail-ordered something and it took six to twelve weeks for delivery.

    You know you're old if you used one, and not simply because you know what it is.

    I agree with this message.

    The first time I put oil in a car was with one of those spouts.

    What if I told you I still have one?


    But that's in your kitchen so I'm assuming you use it for Texas sized cans of soup.

    I’ve used them before...on oil and beer cans
