I think I might have screwed up. Several of us retired
folks were asked to address a high school gathering put on by the
PTA.
I was the only speaker to show up, so I had the stage to myself.
I talked about staying in school, getting good grades and
all that usual bullshit; and since I had plenty of time because those other guys didn't show, I threw it open for questions.
The last one asked was, "Can you give us a couple of your life's
philosophical beliefs?"
I said, "That's an easy one. Looking back over my lifetime, I've spent
most of my money on guns, airplanes, fast cars, women
and whiskey. The rest I just wasted."
I was escorted out without getting to finish my last two rules to live
by:
1) If it flies, floats, or fucks, it's cheaper to rent it.
2) If it's got tits or tires, you're gonna have problems with it.
I hope they invite me back next year so I can finish. Today’s
youngsters need to know this shit!
I think I screwed up!

Well kids in high school should not be offended by that! Look at what is avaiable to kids nowadays with a click 24/7, in my day we use to have to be 18 or 21 to see it. ( you know what I mean)

Re: I think I screwed up!
The one lesson that I have learned in life is that being kind to others is way more satisfying than collecting all of the physical things you can grab in life.

Sometimes it takes someone an entire lifetime to finally discover that. And sometimes they never do and go to the grave eternally frustrated and in a sad state of mind. And what's even more sad is that they don't even realize the err of their ways.

On a more upbeat note - all coffee is not alike!

Re: I think I screwed up!
When it comes to coffee, you are soooo right! We order our coffee from a small roaster in Washington State. None of the coffee offered in grocery stores tastes as good.

That's something that people who drink Starbucks coffee will never understand.

Re: I think I screwed up!
Well, I drink Starbucks coffee, but only when I need a lift in the afternoon. My morning pot of coffee is from that small roaster I mentioned previously, and no, Starbucks is not a high quality roaster or seller.
