    Yup! And when presenting oneself at the cinema box office or a restaurant where they do reduced prices for seniors, and the staff immediately "know" one IS a senior without having to ask.

    I may be senior, but I'd still look up your skirt!

    (Oops, that's a "dirty old man", isn't it?)

    Can't win. Sigh... Listen, just show me your best panties and get it over with, I can take it!
