They say wisdom comes with age - but for some, age comes alone.

That’s America. Land of the free! Free to suffer.

Well, that was off. My monthly Social Security check is $3663.

This is true of people who have worked low paying jobs all there lives and haven't put anything away for retirement. We don't subsidize them.

As stated in the article this old guy was like an “ox”. I’m sure he was the type of person who only kept “working” to be around others and to get out of the house. I feel bad for him that he had to be found in such a position although he’s in a place beyond embarrassment!!

You gotta hand it to him: still trying for fun at 87!

The brain is amazing. Imagine needing all of this for an enjoyable orgasm. I want to read a study on it.
