Black on a widow at a funeral can be very enticing, particularly if they are amongst the wealth ones.

Re: What is old age
My truck is currently in Lae, with a for sale sign on it. So, Monday morning I'll be going to Lae via PMV (Public Motor Vehicle). A PMV on the Lae-Bulolo run comprises a 3-tonne truck with tray body. On the body is a steel frame with wooden bench seats, and a tarpaulin over the top in case it rains. From here to Lae is a 2-hour trip, which is about the limit of my bladder retention. So I'll have to forego my usual giant mug of morning tea before departing. If that's not a sign of old age, I don't know what is!

Re: What is old age
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.
After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'
