I see there have been no posts on this thread in almost the last 24 hours. Please, let's not let this thread die. As an old f__t, I love complaining about the younger generation.

In order to pep things up, I would like to relay the latest Nincompoop News. I am spending quite a lot of time (a LOT of time) working with a young-ish person helping them with a slight problem they have--nothing insurmountable, just a temporary disability. Coincidentally, I also helped her father with the same problem several years ago. So I said, "Where do you work?" She said, "Oh, I'm the ______ Director at the ____ County _______ Office." I said, "Oh, really?! You know, I've always wanted one of their T-shirts or a baseball cap!"

To which she replied, "Well, you can go online and buy one then."

So, I then said, "OK, thanks for that info. Say, I wonder if there's a chance I could get a little tour over there sometime?" To which she replied, "I'll give you the number of the place to call and you can see if you can schedule that."
