Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Hi I received this from my lovely grand daughter this morning. Thought I would share it. Barb. In beautiful sunny Arlington. Rach S wrote: Today's CommnSens is brought to us by Mikey's Funnies. This one was actually worth sharing b/c I agree. GEEZERS "Geezers" are easy to spot: This is slang for an elderly man. At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, they hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. They 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 a Geezer on the sidewalk, he'll apologize; pass a Geezer on the street, he'll nod or tip his cap to a lady. Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. They hold the door open for the next person and always, when walking, make sure the lady is on the inside for protection. Geezers are embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like violence and filth on TV and in the movies. Geezers have moral courage. Geezers seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren in Little League or music recitals. It's the Geezers who know our great country is protected, not just by politicians or police, but mainly by the young men and women in the military serving their country in foreign lands; just as they did, without a thought, except to do a good job, the best you can, and to get back home to their loved ones. This country needs Geezers with their decent values and common sense. We need them now more than ever! Thank God for Geezers. "Children need more models than critics." - Mikey Thanks to , Grandma, and for responding with the blood flow through the heart. I'll cook up some fresh cool points for you shortly. ...after all, if you dont have an imagination, what do you have?
