To cheer us up
So much doom and gloom around at the mo, then I read this and it made me smile.I wanted to share it with you, and hopefully some others will see the funny side to:
" By virtue of your advanced years you have become a fountain of knowledge on positively everything.
It is now your duty to impart this knowledge to the unsuspecting, more ignorant younger generation.
Whenever possible, tell doctors, chefs, electricians and anyone else how to do their jobs.
Repeatedly ask if they know what they are doing and criticize constantly.
By encouraging them in this way they will develop high self-esteem and an increased fondness for their elders."
Luv it.

It made me laugh Tabs, because that's just what some grumpy old wotsits really do - then wonder why they get sworn at.

It really was a joke about the advancing years. A smile. And electricians are a fine lot...........as long as I'm their boss!

Re: To cheer us up
The funniest thing that I've witnessed related to this was an old Australian lady telling a young guy off on a train. She made him stand up and a give a pregnant lady his seat. Whilst he was standing up he spilt his coffee and she told him to "wipe it up then". He was too terrified to argue. I think women must be far more confident in Oz.
