Respecting the elderly

For the record, when I die, I don't want to be buried or cremated. I want to get thrown off an airplane and blown up in an fireworks display over the Hudson River.

I had the day off from work, so I went to CVS to buy soap and shaving cream. And I noticed that everyone in the store was really old. There had to be maybe 20 people there, all of them over well over 100 years old. And some of them weren't even shopping! They were standing in the Greeting Cards/Magazine aisle, talking about what it was like to be alive when during the McKinley Administration, and what it was like growing up with Mozart. And I thought to myself, there's about a 2-1 chance that I'm the only person in this store that will be alive a year from now.


But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you
Win or lose
Forever Young, Forver young, forever young
