PP RAY’S RAMBLINGS: _Today’s tidbit had to do with Aging and how we ‘handle’ it. An elderly gentlemen went to a bar and a friendly young woman approached him and said she would do anything he wanted for $100 but his request must be made in no more than 3 words. He handed her the $100 and said “Paint My House”.
ED Note: As I’ve often said age and cunningness will always overcome youth and innocence.
