A minute later, another woman gets on the bus, and the old man rises to his feet once more. "Male chauvinist pig", seethes the woman, as she pushes him back down again. T...

A gray-headed old man shuffled into a downtown bar holding his head up high. His hands shook as he took the "Piano Player Wanted" sign from the window and handed it to the bartender."I'd like to apply for the job," he said. I was a Navy F-4 pilot off the USS Coral Sea. I learned to play the piano at Officers'...
