Being able to regurgitate what you read does not make one smart...it just shows you can read.

AARP Coffee today and it's actually quite exquisite!

You're lucky you're old enough to drink water, let alone the coffee. That's reserved for REAL men!

cincydiesel

chaikwa

But you said you LIKED doing that for me! Now you want me to do it myself???

cincydiesel

I wish I had a fetish... it would take my mind off how hungry I am. I need lunch.

Yeah! What HE said! You hear that Cincy? BOB has the market cornered on diapers and he don't want anyone else horning in on him!

Now that it's had a chance to sit for 4 or 5 hours, the coffee ain't half bad Bob. Thanks!

Speaking of his fetishes, how come we have a smilie of an old goat but not a sheep?

Couple of years ago late at night in AZ camped out in the desert miles from anybody else sitting around the remains of a fire falling asleep.
Crazy Army or Marine helicopters come screaming over just off the deck and its pitch dark!.
Wife was already asleep so she didnt know what they were.
If I hadnt been awake I would have still been wondering.

What a very nice and polite way of saying that FiverBob's coffee was made by an old guy and tastes like it was filtered through a used depends.

Speaking of old people, my F-Inlaw announced that he is getting married to some gal who isnt even 70 yet.
Means he will be moving out of the old folks place (no more cookies for me unless I adopt somebody).
