Hi, Bob –

Nice to see your postings. I’m glad you have a sense of humor. I meant no harm. You may find this story funny. In my community, there are about six stores that offer a discount to Seniors on Tuesdays. A couple of stores offer this discount throughout the week. This took place a couple of months ago. I was in line at a grocery store and it was a Tuesday and there was a very friendly elderly lady in front of me, talking a mile a minute to anyone and everyone in line, including me. Let me just say that she was quite a personality. As we got closer to the cashier, I told her, “Don’t forget your discount.” She got all excited and said, “Discount! What discount? What do you mean by a discount? Why do I get a discount?” I looked dryly at her and said, “Because you are OLD!” Everyone in line burst out laughing. Her husband was over to the side, waiting for her and heard me and bent over laughing at what I said. She laughed and as she laughed, she smacked me on the shoulder for saying it. The cashier was laughing to the point of having trouble scanning the woman’s groceries.
