Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

I work with old peopleI was on placement in a hospital as a student that for some reason got most of the old people in the country. I'd say about 1 in 3 did not have dimentia. I had this total twat of a supervisor who was always trying to be cool, flirting with the students and getting cranky when we didn't laugh and he had one of those tiny little beards on his lower lip, like a hitler tash but on the bottom lip and a ridiculously hairy chest. In short, a totally arrogant gobshite.
One day I was treating one of the particularly comical old women with him supervising when she sort of leaned forward and pointed vaguely at his chin and said
"What the hell's that? What are you growing that for?" to which he replies, trying to be cool, "Well, I have to, I'm losing it everywhere else. He he he."
Then the old lady pulls down his collar and says "You're not losing it there anyway!"
Even better, moments later, she points vaguely at his crotch and says "Well I hope you haven't lost it down there like I have or this young lady definitely won't have you!"
Needless to say I practically pissed myself.

These are called 'soul patches', but I've got my own name for them - facial fannies.
