It's not really funny, but it's funny. As I get older, I find I have so much less patience. Just think what it must be like to live in a place like that, and have no patience. I love it when I visit my in laws in FL or my Mom in AZ. The older people get into brawls over parking spaces at the markets. The "bump" each other in the markets with their shopping carts. It is comical, but then again, it is sad. All this technology and medicine, still we havn't been able to halt the decay that is aging. Instead we prolong it. Not looking for a brave new world, just observations.

Keep the Faith!

I heard this on Rush Limbaugh yesterday and he had to go to cemmercial break because he was laughing so hard about it. He even stated its not funny, but then on the other hand it is...He also pointed out, think of your grandparents doing this...That made me laugh even more...

I have seen My Grandpa yell at an "old Fart!" for taking too long trying to menuver his grocery cart. Honestly, I thought I was going to wet myself! Picture this poor old guy, had to have been 80+, trying to get his cart over a bump in the rugs they have at the entrances, and my dear old grand dad stats lifting his cart up and slamming it back down, yelling "why dont you get the h*** out of the way, you old fart!" Grandpa was 76 at the time!

Sounds like a day at work to me.

Too funny but so sad at the same time.

Imagine a sharing a nursing home with your own son.

Yeah, then they complain that today's children have no discipline or manners.

It happens more than you might think. I worked in numerous nursing homes and breaking up fights was nearly a daily occurrence. Sometimes the staff would even get hurt.
