ok, so i had a weird moment today getting lunch, and i'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted . . .

Posted by call me Ishmael (aka pacrat) Mar 11 '15, 20:26

I went to Captain D's for lunch. the girl behind the counter was barely 20 if that . . . i tell her what combo i want, and she asks me if I want the senior combo version of it w/ a drink . . .

um, i'm 44 yrs old. Where's she getting this "senior discount" thing? I basically hesitated and was like, "Well, I just want the 3-piece fish w/ a drink" . . .

she gave me the senior discount . . . i didn't have the heart to tell her how old I really am . . . I wonder if it was the stray grey hairs i have, and thank God I shaved my mustache a few days ago. it was starting to show signs of a few grey hairs as well. eeesh, i'm feeling really old now, now that i'm getting offered senior discounts at different eateries . . .

I guess it's time to get suspenders, wear my pants too high on my stomach, and sign up for my AARP card . . .
