> "I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time, my hands are so crippled,"
>volunteered a third.

> "What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you!" said a fourth.

> "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fifth,

> "My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk!" exclaimed

> "I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said an elderly gent.

I like the rest thought it was about some OSO member.
The problem with the story is this is what I worry about with my dad, & father in law. After my father-in-law told me that since cars were so "BIG" he could see them, I told him I will drive because I get sick riding.

And if I understand correctly, he traded the Enterprise for one of those early 1960's "car/boats", the little cars with the propellors that people would drive down the beach and right into the lake. However, since the "car/boat" was in perfect condition, he threw some cash in to boot.
