SWMBO is teaching a senior English class and the subject is advertising. They are looking at who the target is for a product and Monster Drinks are the subject. The class decides the target audience is middle-age. Really SWMBO asks, middle-age for Monster Drinks. Yeah you know the kids answer, "Older people like 25-30".

Yeah, that twenty-five to thirty demographic is particularly bad about wanting to keep people off their lawns. Probably a side effect of too much high-fructose corn syrup.
Yeah- I got disrespected at the bank today by a wet-behind-the-ears teller.
I'd just made deposits into 2 accounts and was withdrawing a roll of quarters to resupply Foster File's allowance fund.
wbte young teller- ( who was a guy-btw)- what's the code word?
(Mrs. File had set up account passwords while I was away in 2004)
Me- #######
wbte young teller- (smirks) I think the code words make things seem super secret or something...
Me- well it's another level of protection....
wbte young teller- oh the codewords are ok- MY MOM has them on her accounts....
😐
It's all relative
53 years ago my third grade teacher was a left over from the days when the dinosaurs walked the Earth. Her funeral was today. She was a couple months short of being 99. Thus she was about 45 when I thought she had hopped on a stegasaurus, instead of a school bus, when she was in the third grade.
A few weeks back I injured my finger and wanted to reference the old joke about what Popeye would do when he had an injured finger. The problem was finding anyone who knew who Popeye was, let alone knowing his girl friend's name.
Since no one knows how long they will live, you are never sure when you reach the middle age of your life. You could be "middle age" in your lifespan at 12, 26, 33, 45, or with low probability 52.
Middle age can only be defined in advance by population statistics.
On the other hand, I have a working definition of "old". It is always at least 10 years older than me.

Olive Oil needed a boob job, big time! B-)
"Older people like 25-30" :-O
Cripes, I've been dead for years and didn't know it! 😉
It's all relative
Uhhh...just for the record...Popeye's girl-friend (wife?) went by Olive Oyl.
But then, spelling hasn't ever been a big issue here on the board..:pinch:

Thank you for the spelling correction. At the time I had a affection for Doris Ziffel (SEE PIC BELOW) so other "hottie's" such as Ms.OYL were not relevant. 😉
Have a great weekend! B-)
PS: Swee'Pea
Doris Ziffel??
Man, if you had flipped the channel you could've caught Barbara Eden...
She was my dream-squeeze when I was a kid. A few years later "Hee-Haw" came out with their sultry country belles and we were all throwing rocks at "Jeannie"
oooo...be still my heart!

That's it!
The truth is that "old" is ten years younger than me!
