>> from Lowell Harms:)
>> Thought you might enjoy this.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> $5.37. That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me.
>>
>>
>> I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and >> something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid >> a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change >> when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the harshest thing anyone has >> ever said to me.
>>
>>
>> He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount."
>>
>> I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change >> hitting the counter in front of me. "Only $4.68" he said cheerfully.
>>
>>
>> I stood there stupefied. I am 48, not even 50 yet? A mere child! Senior >> citizen?
>>
>> I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong >> with Elmo. Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil. >> Old? Me?
>>
>> I'll show him, I thought. I opened the door and headed back inside. I >> strode to the counter, and there he was waiting with a smile.
>>
>> Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front >> of me, like I could be that easily distracted!
>>
>>
>> What am I now?
>>
>>
>> A toddler?
>>
>> "Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, he?"
>>
>>
>> I stared with utter disdain at the keys.
>>
>>
>> I began to rationalize in my mind.
>>
>>
>> "Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly!
>>
>>
>> It could happen to anyone!"
>>
>> I turned and headed back to the truck.
>>
>>
>> I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn.
>>
>>
>> What now?
>>
>>
>> I checked my keys and tried another.
>>
>>
>> Still nothing.
>>
>>
>> That's when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rearview mirror.
>>
>>
>> I had no purple beads hanging from my rearview mirror.
>>
>> Then, a few other objects came into focus. The car seat in the back >> seat. Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard. A partially eaten >> doughnut on the dashboard.
>>
>> Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle.
>>
>> Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot, relieved to finally >> be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life. That is when I felt it, >> deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger! My stomach growled and >> churned, and I reached to grab my burrito, only it was nowhere to be >> found.
>>
>> I swung the truck around, gathered my courage, and strode back into the >> restaurant one final time.
>>
>>
>> There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish. All I could >> think was, "What is the world coming to?" All I could say was, "Did I >> leave my food and drink in here?" At this point I was ready to ask a Boy >> Scout to help me back to my vehicle, and then go straight home and apply >> for Social Security benefits.
>>
>> Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck, and suddenly a young >> lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention. He was holding >> up a drink and a bag. His mother explained, "I think you left this in my >> truck by mistake."
>>
>>
>> I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized.
>>
>> She offered these kind words: "It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like >> this all the time."
>>
>> All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40. Yes, I >> was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius. And no, I told the officer, >> I'm not too old to be driving this fast.
>>
>> As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall. I >> handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket. I promptly sat >> in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blankey.
>>
>> The good news was I had successfully found my way home.
>>
>> -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- READ BELOW !

>> Just in case you weren't feeling too old today.
>>
>> The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1991.

>>
>> McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
>>
>> They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
>>
>> Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.
>>
>> Notice the larger type?

>> P.S. Save the earth.. It's the only planet with chocolate.
