The Graying of America


We have been told for some time now to prepare for an America, in fact a world, dominated by older people.

But who would have guessed these consequences of such a shift of demographics?

Yesterday my wife e-mailed me a newspaper report about a couple being robbed while having “an intimate moment” in a dumpster in a lane outside an apartment.

Wacky, but not particularly thought-provoking... until I read the details (no, not those details):

The couple were 44 years old, the robbers in their 60’s and 50’s.
Think about that: the couple making out were middle-aged, not teenagers. The roving delinquents, seniors, not twentysomethings.

And the place? well it used to be a car parked in a secluded spot, a movie theater...those teenage hormones raged all the time so a couple could pick and choose their trysting place. Now, it’s a matter of when and where the Viagra kicks in for its limited opportunity.

The future is here and it’s not too pretty.

Louis, Interesting. BTW who took the blue pill, I think those below 50 do not need it. See what happen to those older who took the pill. It look like they became a danger to the society.

Anyway do have a nice day and take care.
