THE COUNTRY IS GETTING OLDER!

Or so the reports go. The older population is now more people than the younger one. Having no idea what constitutes the “older population”, I assume I am in a minority now. (This is my blogue: you don’t agree, write your own blogue)

I feel that the world do-gooders are making allowances for just about everything and now will allow for older people, or the majority. It is only fair, that I represent the older people whom I have enormous respect for. Here is a list of some of the things we will need for them.

Disposable toilet seats, the paper idea sucks. Create something that stays in place.

Foot-pedal toilet seats that allow one the opportunity not to have to handle a seat to raise or lower it. This prevents older people from having to reach down and bend their backs.

Whose idea was it to start making all the type in the world so darn small? It must be 4 point they are using, and that is on the road signs!

Why the hell is everyone starting to whisper, seems no one talks up anymore.

We have passing lanes, and HOV lanes, now let’s set up lanes for the younger generation that thinks they are invincible, driving at 100 mph through traffic. This will protect the normal drivers from getting killed.

Another idea I have is for slower drivers, the ones that do 20 mph on a highway with their let turn signal on. Let them have the shoulder, and it should also house every so many miles a rest stop.

A special dining area set aside for senior citizens in all restaurants. This designated area will NOT have loud piped in music, the service will come once to the table to take your order, once to deliver it, and finally once to clear away the dishes and give you the bill. That means no more coming over and interrupting conversations with the inane: “Is everything all right?”

Any public building that caters to seniors should ban rug rats, unless the rug rats are properly muzzled and tied to a seat.

Speaking of restaurants, not only is the type too small on the menus, but why don’t they turn up the lights so someone has a fighting chance to read them. Any one couple with over 40 years of marriage, you don’t want a romantic setting, you want to know who you are talking to, while you eat.

Aspirin should be available in restaurants, next to the free sugar and salt packets, placed on tables in the senior citizens section, along with something to clean up the spills on your clothing.

I don’t think I am asking too much, the political correct police could probably make sure the rules are followed and that everyone over the senior citizen line is accommodated.

Thank you, I’m going to take a nap now.
