Hello Charles,


Because teenagers are a larger (in dollars spent) market segment for
products of that type.

Plus they have lousy taste, can be sold by advertising and can't tell crap
from good stuff.

Because they are psychological lemmings and hormonal to boot. But, if we
live long enough, we might become dependent on them!


Be careful. They are the ones who may decide in which nursing home we
end up....

I'm hoping I follow in my father's footsteps. He just turned 88 and
still lives in his own house, takes care of himself and his 2nd wife,
was repairing his alarm system when I called him last week, having
just come inside from digging up some overgrown shrubbery.

I asked him how he was doing. He replied, "I'm still on the green
side of the grass" ;-)
