Geezer alert ...and isn't really funny.....LOL
Shameless stolen from an e-mail I got today......
Should I Really Join Facebook?
> (Priceless)
>
> Read it all the way through!
> It's a good laugh AND really quite true!!
> A good laugh for people in the over 70 group!
>
> When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I
> ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music,
> takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter.
>
> I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids,
> their spouses, my 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could
> communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle
> something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
>
> My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of
> everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation.
>
> I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage
> in my golf bag.
>
> The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get
> lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I
> keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Bluetooth [it's red]
> phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was
> standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone
> in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing
> aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.
>
> I mean, the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady
> inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into
> in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say,
> "Re-calc-u-lating.” You would think that she could be nicer. It was
> like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh
> and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then, if I made a
> right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship...
>
> When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of
> the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone
> as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.
>
> To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the
> cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I
> still haven't figured out how I lose three phones all at once and have
> to run around digging under chair cushions, checking bathrooms, and
> the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
>
> The world is just getting too complex for me.
>
> They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store.
>
> You would think they could settle on something themselves, but this
> sudden "Paper or Plastic?" Every time I check out, just knocks me for
> a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking
> confused, but I never remember to take them with me.
>
> Now I toss it back to them.
>
> When they ask me, "Paper or plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to
> me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a
> blank look.
>
> I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do fart a lot."
>
> P.S. I know some of you are not over 70. I sent it to you to allow you
> to forward it to those who are. I figured your sense of humor could
> handle it....
>
> We senior citizens don't need any more gadgets. The TV remote and the
> garage door remote are about all we can handle.
