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" ;-)


Did they razz him about his young, vivacious wife:
"You know, at your age, rambunctious sex could be dangerous - even fatal!"
"So, if she dies, I'll have to find another one."

Cheers!
Rich
