What is going on with the old people these days? The golden-agers think
that they are made of gold and becoming lazy!
Why is every old person driving around in a little cart with an orange
flag on the back?
Do they belong to some sort of gang? Is there a secret society of bad
cart drivers that no one has told me about? Are they like pirates that
have traded in the Jolly Roger for an orange plastic triangle?
Why do they drive those carts so poorly? Should they have to take a lazy
cart road test before they are allowed to drive one of those things?
They honk non-stop, they don't look where they are going, and they get
in everyone's way. And unless there is a fantastic earlybird buffet that
they are trying to get to, they have no good excuse for being a sidewalk
menace!
They drive around like a bunch of idjits! They're as bad as three-year-olds
on tricycles! Sometimes they make me so mad that I feel like dragging
those wrinkly "speed demons" out of their carts and start breaking
some hips!
What happened to canes? When did canes become "not good enough"?
You can't rap kids on the head and tell them that they are Idjits with
a motorized cart, but you sure can with a cane!
