H'mmm. I used to get offers from old men, too, when I lived downtown and walked to work, but they were nowhere near as nice! They were way more "dirty" than "cranky." Just my luck.
OTOH, the best bosses I ever had were irascible males nearing retirement age. Fine gentlemen; the only reason either one had a reputation for irritability was their unwillingness to tolerate fools.
So, anyway, now it's the waitress' turn to become curmudgeonly as she discovers the slings and arrows of a whole 'nother tax bracket, if only for a moment. Bless her heart.
Come to that-- this woman may have sent him to an early grave with fat/salt/carb-laden cafeteria delights - perhaps his family has a case?
If but only us dirty old men could get the same social consideration!
ReplyDeleteit does pay to be nice. I've gotten a crockpot, homemade wine, chocolates, and offers of cash from old men I've helped at the library.

ReplyDelete1 in Arizona, 2 in Little Rock Arkansas, 3 in Louisiana, etc.
Go here to find the one nearest you...
Hmmm... I look on this as license to release my inner crank.
ReplyDeleteHey, stop snickering, you guys! What I meant was that I won't be reluctant to display my crank!
Stop it! It isn't funny!
