Speaking from experience huh?

Actually learned it watching my dad jokingly introduce my mom, saying "...and this is my first wife, Nancy." She just rolled her eyes and carried on. She was a saint.

Never dared trying it with my (first and only) wife. Survival instinct FTW.

I wonder which bean counter came up with that one.

I don’t think a bean-counter is responsible. I think the 15k requirement gets them exactly what they want. If they could get away with it, they would probably require applicants to be over 60.

I know a bunch of older retired guys that are happy with low-pressure, low-paying, low-status jobs. They want out of the house. I know a retired lawyer that loves his part-time Lowe’s job.

They don’t want an overly ambitious type that would jump ship for a better gig.

I suppose 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but JL is definitely NOT "low-pressure".

Maybe it could be if you are retired and don’t give a •.

Which reminds me …

If you are a middle-aged white guy of Anglo-Irish ancestry you probably get chunks of flesh cut off you every couple of years.

Recently, my seventy-something dermatologist removed a pre-cancerous Porsche payment from my face. It required five or six stitches to close the surgical wound. I couldn’t help but praise my doctor for his work, the sutures closed my wound perfectly. He’s been my dermatologist for years so I was comfortable asking him if he feared that his skills would decline with age.

He said that he was better than he was when he was thirty, but then added that he wasn’t very good at thirty.

I felt awkward and thanked him for his skillful work. He then mentioned that the lesion he removed might be cancerous.

Then, he nonchalantly said that he hoped he got it all.

You don't want former 121 in 135.

They'll learn, the hard way.

True. There are two morals to your story.
Moral 1 - Don't give a Schniky.
Moral 2 - Don't buy a Porsche.
(Note: binary choice here. If you buy a Porsche, you obviously give a Schniky, which renders Moral 1 unavailable to you.)

Yeah, especially if you spent time on snow or water in your youth. And especially if you are a jet pilot and subject your skin to a dental X-ray every flight.
