Great things about old people.

They don't care what most people think about them anymore.

Could we change the thread title to, "Great things about botched YouTube links," because...damn.

Old people have awesome stories to tell sometimes. It sucks because sometimes they can talk and talk and talk and talk, but sometimes you can really benefit from their experience, if not their wisdom.

The best thing about Alzheimer's is that you meet new people every day.

To quote Willy Wonka from Tim Burton's version, they smell like soap.

 

[michephantom]

No, they smell like mothballs and really bad pefume/cologne.

Lisa: Old people deserve our respect. Look at Jacques Cousteau and Goldie Hawn; you wouldn't shut them away like second-class citizens.
Homer: Pftt... second class? What about social security, bus discounts, Medic-Alert jewelry, Gold Bond powder, pants all the way up to your armpits, and all those other senior perks? Oh, if you ask me, old folks have it pretty sweet.

My grandfather still has a bottle of cologne that he ordered from the Sears and Roebuck catalog of 1932

I voted against the elderly in the 1984 election.

I would totally hire them.

Their stories can be fascinating. I'm amazed that my grandparents grew up on a farm without cars and got around in winter in horse drawn sleighs. Both of my grandfathers even had to learn English, even though the families had been in America for a few generations.

Serving them at the supermarket isnt always as great.

With age comes wisdom (at least in most older people I've known in my life). That's a cool trait to have.

Old people are great as long as they act their age. Nothing in the world is worse than an old person trying to be young and cool. I've got a grand-uncle who still think he can play basketball and he tries to play with us but the way he dresses isn't "right." He wears tubes socks with the stripes on them and shorts that fit in places and it should be against the law. Also have a grand-aunt who thinks she's still got it. My gawd! Her ass looks likes a deflated balloon and boobs look like eggs on nails! Don't ask me how I know this.

Some of their stories of the "good ol days" can be pretty interesting and entertaining. On the flip side some of said stories can actually cause me physical pain.

Old people are Great because they way to much on their grandkids, and the ones who been to war have some pretty cool tales to tell.

How do you know that. LOL

I love that they can pretty much get away with saying whatever the hell they want, and nobody can say squat to them because we haven't survived as much crap as they have. I'm a pretty nice guy, but I'm gonna love growing old just so I can be mean to strangers and laugh as I walk away.
