We are under attack!

[Neil D]

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!

We Must Stop This Immediately!

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection. Well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?

I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!

Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were.

My sentiments exactly!

And hardly anyone has a sense of humor anymore.

I agree with this Gerry. And while the rest of us are finding ways to stay young ... he is settling into old age. It appears he is content with his aging.

[Stan]

that is happening the the True North Strong and Free Country as well.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I haven't noticed any of this.

[GreatLakesGramma]

Neither had I, Liz.

This is hilarious, Neil. (But oh, so true!)

teehe

As an admin, I can tell that this thread is in the wrong forum.

It should be in Politics. Maybe someone influential will see it and start a bill that would make the appropriate changes.

Very interesting Neil, how do you come up with this stuff. LOL

[Jeannieb43]

On behalf of Silver Circle, I thought it belonged there!

He probably got it in his email. I got the same one long ago.

[LifeHiscost]

that is happening t(o) the True North Strong and Free Country as well.

Maybe just a committee meeting to elect a nominating committee to elect the nominating committee will be enough.

Yeah me too. But it sure makes a good point, and with great humor.

I've never seen it before, and if I did get it as an email I sure don't remember it.

It's so good, I don't know how anyone could forget getting it, so you probably didn't.
