Dr. Anast's Clinic:
An old doctor became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open his medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's Clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?
Dr. Anast: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"
Dr. Anast: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Anast: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is gasoline!"
Dr. Anastr: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!!!!
Dr. Anast: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)
Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!
Dr. Anastr: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."
Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"
Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

Hilarious! I couldn't agree more with the last sentence, too. I've gone to great lengths to cultivate my "crochety old crank" reputation. It makes people want to stay socially distanced 6 feet from me...usually even more.

I'm working on the reputation of crochety old curmudgeon and think I have a pretty good foundation built.

While a lot of us are putting the finishing touches on our dour dispositions (I'm working on dirty old man), don't assume that if you don't eat, drink or carouse to excess you will live to be 100. You won't but it will seem like it.
