I never really liked the terminology "Old Farts", but this makes me feel
better about it, and if you aren't one, I'll bet you know one!
OLD FART PRIDE
I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only old fart receiving
it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. Old Farts
are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of "God Save the
Queen". Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them
Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbour, Guadalcanal , Normandy
and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet
Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from
1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you
pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old
Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking,
make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and
children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag
unless it's about their children or grandchildren
It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by
politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving their
country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of
responsibility, pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever
Thank God for Old Farts!
Pass this on to all the "Old Farts" you know.
I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find
them.....
