Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

The Youth of TodayI was at a bus stop the other day when a couple of homeless looking guys were rolling past drugged up to the eyeballs, and a rather sweet old man who looked about 80 noticed and came over straight away in case I was in any kind of distress.
We had a bit of a chat about what terrible things drugs can do, and isn't it awful how easily available they are, etc, when he came out with one of the greatest things I have ever heard:
'When I was your age, LSD stood for pounds, shillings and pence, and a good trip was when the family went to Blackpool for the day and saw the donkeys!'
God bless you old man, you made my day.

It may be a commone phrasealthough I tried to look it up on google afterwards and couldn't find it.
Still, I'm saving that for when I'm old, despite the fact I'll never be That Old.
