Specter 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 "Geezers" (slang for an old man) are easy to spot: At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam. If you bump into an Old Geezer on the sidewalk, he will apologize. If you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection. Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies. Old Geezers have moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren. It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in the military serving their country. This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values. We need them now more than ever. Thank God for Old Geezers! Pass this on to all the Old Geezers you know.

Arms 0 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) Being 16 feels old... Anyways i find theirs a total lack of respect for older people for people around my age at the moment. Kids are even more less courteous back then i assume. Edited March 23, 2005 by Arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Splash 23 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 You were a few paragraphs short Phantom ; Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies.← An Old Geezer's idea of games, involves throwing sticks for his dog, cards, dominoes and draughts [chequers]. He believes computer games are the work of the devil and goes into a conscious coma when he sees one, and this is why his Grandchildren hate staying at Grandpa's, because he won't let them bring their console over and he hasn't got satelite or cable. This country needs Old Geezers to teach their Grandchildren how to smoke, tuck 'Red Man' tobacco behind their cheeks and 'Skoal' behind their bottom lips, and then spit gallons of brown saliva all about the home, all about the workplace and into plastic cups nestled between the front seats. Old Geezers believe that there's nothing wrong in spitting in the presence of others, in fact they seem to make a point of doing it, and they don't think twice about spitting near your feet, because they're 'life's veterans' and nobody can tell them what to do. This country needs Old Geezers to show them how to eat good wholesome 'country' food in restaraunts, whilst 'balancing' an oversized mesh baseball cap, from 'Jed's Tractor & Repair', on their heads. Because they know, that wearing a hat at a table whilst eating, although bad manners, is their right, and they're not gonna let anyone tell them to remove it, because they're Americans and this is a free a country. Old Geezers demand respect, and make waitresses lives a misery. Giving them the run around, complaining about the service and the food, and all the while calling them "Honey". But they've earned the right to treat them like this, because they're 'life's veterans', they raised 'Old Glory' over the dizzy heights of Mount Suribachi back in '45 and nobody's gonna tell 'em what to do. Many Old Geezers know how important it is to own a truck. They love Grandma, but they they love their trucks even more, and despite the invention of four door sedans, they'd much prefer to squeeze the whole family on the front seat of a truck. Don't even talk to them about seat belts! This country needs Old Geezers to keep traffic slow moving on Sundays. Whilst ahead of the 'convoy' in their big ol' cars, Grandma and Grandpa like to take in the scenery whilst wearing hats, waving to the neiboUrs and pointing at peoples yards [lawns]. Many Old Geezers love their Japanese cars. They've had them for years and will never buy another American car again. They swear by their reliabilty, their warranty and the peace of mind that comes with owning a Japanese car, and they see no irony in having a license plate cover entitled 'Veteran Of Iwo Jima' displayed boldly on the rear of their 'rice burner'. With their hat wearing table manners, their blatant spitting and their aversion to most things new, we need them now more than ever. And you can keep them, America!
