Black vinyl roof on blue body - SS 396 Chevelle here. Loved that car, but sold it in the Carter gas crisis days for next to nothing.

Big Pink Flyod Fan here, but does comfortably numb refer to a hand or saddle condition on the bike?
But, I digress

*** WARNING *** Implied off-color joke

On a recent trip I came across this T-shirt, which proclaimed:

You say Tomato

I say F*** Y**

Except that it was all spelled out on the shirt. I know some grouchy 50+'ers for whom this would fit their personality.

that toby keith quote isn't toby's.... i remember hearing somebody say that back in the 70's and i used it many times right up until i heard toby sing it... tossed it out like yesterday's fish after that....

for a 50+ slogan.... how about.... 'cuz i said so, dammit!

or... two rules for success.... 1) don't tell 'em everything you know.

be well,

jim
