I Am NOT Slow…

geezer

After reading my earlier post wherein I talked about cousins and geezers, my Welsh friend Liz sent this, saying that when she saw it she thought of me. I complained to Liz, letting her know that I am NOT slow. Nor do I use a cane. Yet.

In fact at the last geezer speed trials, I placed 37th out of a field of 85 entrants, earning the distinction of being classified high-normal, or slightly above normal, whatever the hell normal is defined to be at any given moment by any particular group.

With a hearty thank you to Liz, but with apologies to SLOW Geezers everywhere, this obviously contrived and staged photo is laugh-out-loud funny. If we’re allowed to live to that age, and still be in a vertical orientation, there we all go…

[A few folks out there who have lost their sense of humor and humanity will undoubtedly take offense at this, loudly decrying that this is somehow offensive to elders. Those are the same few folks who have lost touch with reality and object to everything that is not in sync with their narrowly channeled thinking. I do not apologize to them. My wish for them is that they get a life...before it is too late...]

    Where was the geezer crossing in ‘05 when I needed one!?!

    When did you complain to me?! Did you email me? If so I didn’t get it. Did you comment on my blog? No, I don’t think so. Perhaps you just thought you’d complained to me …

    Liz, I just resent it. Sorry you did not receive the first attempt.
