I think I'm gonna start whispering "I see dead people..... " to all of the youngsters at work.....

It may become my new favorite line.

Just don’t do it around the time you’re facing a RIF or lay-off. We had to “counsel” a supervisor who didn’t get it.

You know you’re a geezer when you’re so old you remember seeing the first issue of Mad Magazine at newsstands.

(I just read they are ceasing new issues)

I remember that first issue.I was in Boy Scouts going to a camping trip.
Boy we must be OLD Steve.

I'm still pissed that my mom tossed my Mad collection when I went off to college.

I'm currently in upstate NY and just attended my 50th HS reunion does that qualify me as a geezer?

Wife and I just spent time in Hawaii. While mindlessly shopping in Paia, Maui, a thirty-something dad picks up a small poster and asks me, “do you know who this is?” Why yes, that’s Alfred E. Neuman from MAD magazine I respond. His motto was “what...me worry?”

This was followed by a far off stare and crickets...I moved on shaking my head.

I'd be pissed too. Imagine our annoyance when our mother threw away my sister's Beatles albums, including the original mono recording of "Meet the Beatles".

An interesting thought:

The best forecast of the future that I read when young was: Mad Magazine

 

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

Well they will start to reprint old issues.They have 550 of them to draw from.
Sad that it has to come to this.
Mad was/is a great source of fun info.

Ditto ...my mom gave away my Lionel Trains (probably worth a fortune now) when I went to college,.

When you realize a six inch lift on your truck is no longer a good idea...

I still have my Amazing Spiderman collection, #2-125 or so. I remember my father always telling to stop wasting my money on comics!

Dang, I’ve been a geezer for the last 40 years! Whodda thunk it?

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

When you buy a pair of memory foam insoles for your shoes.

No more forgetting why you walked into the kitchen.

When a surgeon puts a six inch cut in your hip and slaps some metal in there. Only 61 do I qualify?

Yup, that’s a ticket to geezerhood... welcome to the gang.
