A New Age

I'm just a regular guy and before I retired, I learned about different metal ages: the "Bronze Age" and the "Iron Age." Now that I'm retired, I'm learning about another metal age: the "Lead-in-the-Pants Age."

Travel Agent

I'm just a regular guy and I went to my travel agent to book a cruise. She asked how much I wanted to spend. I gave her a dollar amount and she said, "If that's all you want to spend, I suggest you go home and watch the Travel Channel."

Unsafe Website

I'm just a regular guy and I want to tell you straight up, if a website asks you to sign in with your Social Security number, Mother's maiden name, bank account number, home address, phone number, and date of birth, it's not an extra security measure.

New Doctor

I'm just a regular guy and I've been trying to find a doctor since retiring to Phoenix, AZ. The first one I visited had a sign in the waiting room:

No after hours service
No eMails
No long procedures
No house calls
No "There there's" 
No pats on the back

His name was Dr. Dolittle

Playing Doctor

I'm just a regular guy and I enjoyed playing doctor until I was about 10 years old. Then, insurance forms, co-pays, and malpractice suits took away all the fun.
