Ask a geezer anything

UncleWede · 12-11-2014, 02:06 PM

In the grand "Ask a . . ." tradition that is OT (Ask Dr. Phoenger, Ask a budsmoker, wasn't there ask a gynecologist to go with the Ask a Dentist?), I thought I'd throw this out there. I'm sure Al, Kevin, and maybe Upstate can help me out.

Just remember, memory is the second thing to go

I can't remember what the first thing is.

What was life like during the 1920's?

What was prohibition like?

Was it harder to crank-start a car in the winter?

Did Jesus really have a beard?

How was the sugarwall action back in the neandrathal days?

upstatedoc · 12-11-2014, 02:46 PM

You're in your 50's. You call that a geezer!?!?

What was George Washington like?

How many times in the middle of the night do you have to get out of bed to go pee?

How much is in your retirement fund?

Was it you who knocked up virgin Mary?

Is it scary and intrusive getting a prostate exam, or oddly satisfying?

ASAP · 12-11-2014, 03:29 PM

Have you had a colonoscopy yet?

KingOfJericho · 12-11-2014, 03:31 PM

I have and I'm 33...

ASAP · 12-11-2014, 03:35 PM

I have as well and I am younger than you... just making sure our older friend has. Guidelines recommend it.

Propofol for me... it was painless.

What was it like when the internet transitioned from Black&White to color?

Yeah I don't understand people who think it'll be painful. I didn't feel a thing and was out like a light. I'm actually having another on Monday...

PINeely · 12-11-2014, 04:29 PM

Well going NPO for a night always sucks especially when your 'oscopy is 3pm the next day but pain during surgery is a thing of the past.

ASAP · 12-11-2014, 04:33 PM

Oh, you've got a point, that cleansing liquid is a nightmare. So preparation does suck.

UncleWede · 12-11-2014, 05:05 PM

Back from my nap, have a few minutes before I head off for my senior dinner special, IF I can find my pants

I don't have to pee unless I drink milk before bed. My godfather has had to quit doing things he loves because has to get up so often at night.

Had oscopy done, the preparation for a diabetic is rough. I found it oddly not uncomfortable I had to have one done with a barium contrast, holding it in was the worst part.

Before the internet was black and white, you had to dial up at 28.8 to download still photos of pron. Or play online games. "Choosy perverts choose GIF"

PINeely · 12-11-2014, 05:10 PM

Yeah, could be worse if you go under general anesthesia without it though.

To the OP:
Do you find that your "filter" on what you say to people has been degraded? My grandparents all stopped filtering what they said after 50 and I couldn't tell if it was something they couldn't help or if they just didn't give a damn anymore.
