SENIORS UNDER ATTACK

THIS IS HAPPENING

 

RIGHT HERE
IN OUR OWN COUNTRY! 
We Must Stop This 
Immediately !

Have you noticed that stairs are getting 
steeper .  Groceries are heavier .  And, 
everything is farther away.  Yesterday 
I walked to the corner and I was 
dumbfounded to discover how long   our 
street had become!

And, you know, people are less 
considerate now, especially the 
young ones.  They speak in 
whispers  all the time!  If you 
ask them to speak up they just 
keep repeating themselves, 
endlessly mouthing the same silent 
message until they're red in the face!  
What do they think I am, a lip reader?

I also think they are much 
younger than I was at the same 
age.  On the other hand, people 
my own age are so much older  
than I am.  I ran into an old friend the 
other day and she has aged so much that 
she didn't even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor 
dear while I was combing my 
hair this morning, and in doing 
so, I glanced at my own 
reflection  well, REALLY NOW - 
even mirrors are not made the 
way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so 
fast these days!  You're risking life 
and limb if you happen to pull onto 
the freeway in front of them.  All I 
can say is, their brakes must wear out 
awfully fast, the way I see them screech 
and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are less 
civilized these days.  Why else 
would they suddenly start 
labeling a size 32 waisted pant 
as 40?  Do they think no one 
notices? The people who make  bathroom 
scales are pulling the same prank.  Do they 
think I actually 'believe' the number I see 
on that dial?  HA!  I would never let myself 
weigh that much!  Just who do these 
people think they're fooling?


I'd like to call up someone in authority to 
report what's going on -- but the telephone 
company is in on the conspiracy too: 
they've printed the phone books in such small 
type that no one could ever find a number 
in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! 


Unless something drastic happens, pretty 
soon everyone will have to suffer these 
awful indignities.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO 
EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON 
AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET 
THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

PS: I am sending this to you 
in a larger font size, because 
something has happened to 
my computer's fonts - they 
are smaller than they once were. Thank 
you.
P.S. God gave you toes as a device for finding furniture in the 
dark.
