Today, in a coffee shop, I purchased two doughnuts and cup of coffee, a regular order which I've bought many times before. Today the cost was $1 less and when I inquired why, I was told, "I gave you the senior's discount." Their policy is a senior discount for anyone over 55. I turned 50 last week. FML

Janitor: (Hurt look) Forty-three. I know I look a little older but that’s just because I drink and smoke heavily and work with chemicals and sleep on my face.
And he was pissed because she was two years off and he swore revenge. Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it if you're five years off. Twenty years, sure. Although, when wo
