    Mom's saying is morally reprehensible: if people around you are saying ghastly things - say, that Jews are underdogs and should be gassed (and numerous other, much less extreme cases) - then "saying nothing and keeping shut" will, through your silence, imply that you agree. This is largely how evil wins in the world, through the silence of good people in speaking out against bad ideas and actions.

    But Dad may well have a point. For some people . . .

    Tad, if I could turn into Gary and have his talent I might consider it, but I would have to be able to stay my age. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    Apparently it is a badge of honor to be turned into Gary. If it happened to Klaus it must be a good thing.

    Gary, I must have missed the u-g-l-y threads.

    want to be turned into a man who is about to go kicking and screaming into his 60th year, can barely see the screen anymore, can remember jingles from the 40s and 50s but can't remember what he did two days ago, and is described by his long suffering wife of 27 years as being a certifiable grump?

    According to your profile, Gary, you're already in your sixtieth year (which starts when you turn 59)! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

    Now Peter - that 'splitting hairs' remark about the 60th year was uncalled for! Cleary the old guy is having trouble accepting his advancement into the senior years! You shouldn't rub it in! (sorry Gary - this is so fun I can't resist [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] )

    Gary, we are all the same age, just at different time.

    Gary, with the staunch support of your no doubt long-suffering wife, I hereby relinguish the title of "everybody's favorite curmudgeon" - and hand it over to you!

    Klaus, you are too kind and too generous.

    Actually, 60 is not as old when you finally get there as it seemed when I was 30, or 40, or 50.

    Now my 86 year old aunt does not seem to be that old :-)
