I'm currently reading Atomic Lobster by Tim Dorsey, HarperCollins publisher on my Kindle and had to share this.
"Something else that needles me. This attitude toward old people. We're either the objects of kind pity or cruel wisecracks. Our hearing isn't as bad as you think. Blue hair, God's waiting room, all those remarks about our driving. You know what we talk about when you're not around? Getting in a Buick and plowing through a bunch of young people, then acting confused. So we lose our license. So what? Keep telling your little jokes."
