Today's Suggestion

I am not an "ageist", really I am not. But I think that the self-checkout lines at Giant should be limited to customers UNDER THE AGE OF 60. Just my opinion.

How do you think your dad and his abs feel about that?

My dad and his abs still have a few months to be able to use the self checkout lines!

Similarly, there should be a driving cut off age. It is sorely needed in Baltimore.

I can't believe you would make such a statement. That's just ignorant!

If your comment was directed at me, Greg, I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. In any case, if you think my statement is ignorant you obviusly don't do much driving in Baltimoe. The preponderance of elderly drivers who don't know what they're doing is truly frightening. I have the greatest respect for the elderly but sometimes I doubt if it's in the best interests of the public's greater safety for some of them to be driving.

Joel- I get the feeling he was talking to me and using a bit of a tongue in cheeck tone. In any event, I agree with you and I am sure Greg does as well...in fact, yesterday I was fortunate enough to drive behing a woman who straddled the lanes like there was no tommorow. Age? Over 80.

I take no responsibility for the fact that jewboy didn't get that the above remark was a joke. I think that Greg's snide remarks are mostly reserved for this side of the Carter family.

Jerry Seinfeld has this funny thing where he says that Florida's state flag should be a picture of half a steering wheel with knuckles on the top :-D
