Me, too…I didn’t even read past the first few points before I hit delete,
gagging all the while...

Actually, Dick's message got it's heading mixed with the one that
goes: Definition of a confused gentleman.
While us Old Pharts do many of the same gentlemanly things described in
Dick's post, we honest and true old Pharts are not the soppy-brained,
slack-jawed, mindless Casper Milktoast's portrayed in the tribute.
Real Old Pharts are crusty, out spoken fellows who have been awake enough
years to know when the Bullshit is being fed to them.
These sentimental bits of prose are fine for Mother's Day cards, or for
grandpa's 100th birthday, but they do no real justice to their topic by
glossing over, "The Rest of the Story".

I thought I was an old fart until I read this. Looks like I would be

*Subject:* Old Farts
I never really liked the terminology "Old Farts"but this makes me
feel better about it.
And if you ain't one, I bet ya you know one!
I got this from an "Old Fart" friend of mine!
*_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 the National Anthem. 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 Harbor, 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.
