How Old *Are* You?

Visiting Mount Rushmore today.

I wanted to use one of their machines to pay for parking, but it wasn't working. So I went into the nearby ice cream parlor and stood in A long line.

Finally my turn, and the following happened:

Cashier No. 1: Are you a senior?

Me: No.

Cashier No. 2: How old *are* you?

Me: I'm only 52 . . .

[Both cashiers look incredulously at .y white hair and beard]

Cashier No. 1: I'm going to.give you the senior discount anyway.

Feeling as old as the Founding Fathers. . .
