Everyone was aghast as President Old Brains looked at his watch during this somber ceremony and people wondered what was he thinking? Well, that's not all that hard to figure out. It was.
"Is it time to take a pill? Did I eat lunch? Didn't I just pee ten minutes ago? Why do I have to pee so much? When is lunch?"
And, we're pretty confident that was what was going on in his mind as that's what goes on in the minds of most people who are closing in on their 80th birthday and are Senile. Now some of you might say but he's the President surely he has a lot on his mind. And to that we say, really?
And, it's not like we don't understand. We do. We get confused too. But lucky for us this is a print medium so if someone writes "transfaglemelicon", spell check tell us it's not word or even a bunch of words. Then we make the correction.
And, take the Kung Flu vaccine. Please. There are people saying take it and there are people saying don't take it. And everyday we see stories about people who didn't take it and got the Kung Flu and stories about people who took the vaccine and got the Kung Flu. Then there are people who died. Some of whom got the vaccine and others didn't. And, this goes on day after day after day. What happens if we take the vaccine? What happens if we don't? And, if we make the wrong choice, will we die?
And, the way everyone yaks about this vaccine you would think it's the only one there ever was. Like we don't get poked every year for the Flu, and there are no vaccines for Pneumonia, Tetanus not to mention all the shots kids get. So like what's the big deal here?
So, it's not just President Old Brains or the Elderly going Senile who are confused. It's all of us.
