Why don't

retirees mind

being called

Seniors?

 
The term

comes with a

10% percent

discount. 

 

 

 

 

 

The twist

was also the

first dance

where kids

didn’t touch

each other

and parents

thought THAT

was vulgar…

anti-military,

and just plain

dropping out.

in the 60's,

people took care

of their families

and their neighbors

I contend that for

a nation to try to tax

itself into prosperity

is like a man

standing in a bucket

and trying

to lift himself

up by the handle
