I’m an old fart and proud of it; how about you?



I never really liked the terminology "Old Farts"but this makes me feel better about it.And if you aren't one, I'll bet you know one!
I got this from an "Old Fart" friend of mine!OLD FART PRIDEI'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only 'old fart' receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.

  • Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.
  • Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbour , Guadalcanal , Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam .
  • If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement he will apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Farts trust strangers and are polite, particularly to women.
  • Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
  • Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity.

I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them.
 
I guess I've been an old fart for as long as I can remember :)

I always thought a lot of those points were just called courtesy
 
The only time I've ever been confused was when I met an outspoken lesbian feminist who yelled at me in front of lots of other people for daring to hold a door open for her

I let her rant for several seconds, not interrupting her (another discourtesy I hate) and let her smack me on the arm and still remained my composure

When she'd finished, in a loud enough voice for everyone else to hear I offered my considered but 'off-the-cuff' reply

"So I guess that means an (oral sex act) is out of the question then ? "

I received a standing ovation :) -- she was entering the room and didn't know what to do with herself, where to go, or what to do, so she skulked off and was mocked & derided by pretty much everyone for the rest of the day

I still, and always have, held doors open - not just for a lady but for anyone else - its who I am

Courtesy and integrity costs nothing but is commonly sold nowadays for a pittance
