If they let him drive one more time, he may be able to pick up the spare.

"don't tase me, sonny!"

Well what do they expect? They set up a barricade, for crying out loud. If they would have just moved out of the way, everything would be fine.

Somehow, doing donuts in front of a cop would be a GOOD thing, you'd think.

This why you need to call a doctor if you have a Viagra-erection for more than 4 hours....it can drive you MAD.

Taser forces 75 year old man to the prone position. Permanently. Newsworthy and with a slide show.

And the great, great, great grandchild asks, "Gandpa, can't we can all get along."

OJ did it, on the freeway, in the Bronco, with the audacity...

Loudenback pulls into a church parking lot and begins doing donuts as the motorcycle cop and a patrol car attempt to approach the driver.
Why do we care what he was eating?

mmmmm, donuts...

AARP lawyers were on the scene in minutes, providing Loudenback with immediate get-out-of-jail-free protection, thanks to his optional OFIT (Old Fart In Trouble) coverage. (Trust me, it's worth it.)

Meanie, do you have their (not they're) web address?
Posted by: frodolives | July 06, 2008 at 05:33 PM
No, but they sure have mine....

Crossin' the highway, running lights
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see those four police cars
That clunker’s squashed and there you are!
You got yer
Old fart in the middle of the road
Old fart in the middle of the road
You got yer old fart in the middle of the road
Cussin' to high Heaven!
Take yer mitts off me, you got no cause!
Hold up my hands? I ain’t broke no laws!
You know I’m no crook and you have to agree
My driving’s perfectly satisfactory
Chorus
Yeah you got yer kids’ pranks and you got yer tough punks
On a moonlight night you got yer mean old drunks
But that senior cit, he sure beats them all
You’d best get out of his way when nature calls!
Chorus

meanie, how old do I need to be to qualify for OFIT? is it available via AARP??
so many questions!
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 06, 2008 at 06:33 PM
I'm hoping it's covered by Medicare because now so am I ...
Posted by: Steve Haller | July 06, 2008 at 06:42 PM
*Raises stink (in a praise-ful™ way) @ JD*
Don't konw exactly, Wyo. I keep tearing up the envelopes in denial.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 06, 2008 at 06:46 PM
Thanks, Meanie. *Sprays air freshener around blog*
And Meanie--about the envelopes? Me, too. ;-)
Posted by: Just Ducky | July 06, 2008 at 07:32 PM
OK, speaking as a card-
carryingtossing Geezer, tell me this: why is it called "yardwork" if it's me who has to do the work?Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 06, 2008 at 08:10 PM
Because, dear Meanie...if we called it manwork, would you actually do it???
I didn't think so.

*tries to decide which way to be most insulted*
*decides to put off dealing with it*
Anyone seen the remote?

Sure this wasn't a White Aryan Type follower...
Or maybe he needs some Aricept...
Just wait 'til us 'boomers are in our seventies, everyone driving with Flashbacks, pot dreams, alcohol frenzy,
Yes, we are the upcoming Terror! Be afraid!

Sounds more like I-95 than US 95.
Posted by: oneblankspace | July 06, 2008 at 08:53 PM
Not to alarm you, Daisy, but.... the future is now.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Sorry about that, I forgot I was old!
Which thread are we in? what day is it?
Daisy
Posted by: Daisy | July 06, 2008 at 08:56 PM
Hang on, Daisy, while I check my medicine box (assuming I can open it).
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 06, 2008 at 08:59 PM
Meanie, thanks for the reminder, time for meds.
Posted by: somedude | July 06, 2008 at 09:31 PM
I sure hope I'm "defiant, angry and cursing" when I'm 75. Without the vehicular issues, of course.
Posted by: Suzy Q | July 06, 2008 at 11:24 PM
I blame it on the donuts.
Posted by: billinbossier | July 07, 2008 at 09:28 AM
I blame it on being named "Ira Loudenback." That name belongs on the blog about the woman whose wedding dress fell apart...
