I like my hair white.

I like it to be very thin on top.

I like having wrinkles.

I like having a modest belly hiding my soft abs.

I like being able to smile without blinding everyone in the vicinity with unnaturally white teeth.

I don't like being told that there is something wrong with looking old, being old or thinking old. In more sophisticated cultures old is revered and treated with extra respect.

I am a great grandfather, for crying out loud. Please allow me the dignity of the earned badges of my mileage.

Re: Dear TV Advertizers:

That is very unAmerican of you JB. You are supposed to run out and buy this junk.

Ask you doctor if _____ is right for you.

If I drink the right kind of beer, will beautiful women showup at my doorstep?

I am thinking Shafer isnt one of those beers.

I agree. The way we treat the elderly, in this country, is shameful.

Not calling you elderly, my friend.

True story: my wife's boss took her 14 year old daughter to the doctor for a regular check-up. She asked her mom, in all seriousnous, if she should ask the doctor about "the purple pill".

Re: Dear TV Advertizers:

Just my point, LT.

Why in the world try to look younger when older is kinder, gentler, smarter and wiser (usually richer, too).

Re: Dear TV Advertizers:

At this point in my life, I know what I like and dislike. And no amount of advertising is going to persuade me to try anything else. I've worked hard to become a curmudgeon, and I want to enjoy it. Hmmph!

Re: Dear TV Advertizers:

Any "next Mrs. JB" would have to settle for what she sees. Packaging myself differently would be fraud.

Re: Dear TV Advertizers:

I only have one request for TV advertisers:

Keep the volume at a similar level to the accompanying program. My poor "MUTE" button is getting a workout.

Oh, and it's not fooling anyone when they shoot the commercial against a freeway or some other noisy background that they have to shout at the top of their lungs to be heard!
