Cross-generation Dress Code

Nice crisp fresh morning.

Just been out for a walk - glad I’m still capable of walking - Horny Goat Weed - thought I’d acquired a built-in walking stick!

Saw a family going for a walk: husband, wife and four children - oldest about 15, youngest in a pram.

What struck me was the father. Haircut looked like a hairy piece of carpet balanced on a shaved head. Rings in eyebrow, nose and ear. Cloths undistinguishable from those of his sons.

How things have changed in the last 50 ~ 60 years. Back then each generation had its own dress code.

I never knew my Grandmothers, but I was close to my friend’s Gran. For the twenty years I knew her, she always looked old. Dressed in black, with a hat perched on her head.

Its only natural for adults to look old to children, but even now looking at old photographs, to me the people back then still look old.

How things have changed. “In the good Old Days” Doctors looked like Doctors, today they look like Outward Bound Canoe Instructors with open necked checked shirts.

Told you about the wife going for a Flu jab.

The Nurse came out of her room, called out a name. No movement. Called out the name again, slight stirring. She turned to a woman, “Are you *** *****”,
“Yes, but I’m waiting to see the nurse”,
“I am the Nurse”

“You are the NURSE?”
“Yes”
The woman looked at her friend and silently mouth questioningly, she’s the nurse?

I wasn’t surprised by the woman’s reaction

The nurse had on trainers with tight hipsters finishing half way down her calf, revealing red and black hooped socks. Skimp top, revealing a broad band of midriff with ring in naval. No bra. Short cropped hair with one eye and one nose ring. The patients weren’t expecting her to wear a uniform, but this??

What would my friend’s Grandmother think about the way some middle-aged women dress now?

What the hell, some +50year old women get egg implants, so they can have kids. Come on act your age!!!

Horny Goat Complex Herbal Pills and Bad Feet

Following yesterday’s blog, I received a very cryptic message about Horny Goat complex herbal pills. Took it to be a suggestion to stop people parking too close to my car.

Have you seen the way an old Billy goat behaves when he gets excited - pees all over himself, and what a smell?

Who would want to park next to someone who pees over himself?

Come to think about it most old men already have problems with the water works.

Or had I got it completely wrong, and it was a suggestion that I should crush the pills and rub them on my feet?

Googled Horny Goat Weed and looked up:

www.evitamins.com/pr...

Didn't bother to read the description of what it’s used for - too many words.

But under - Recommended Use:

“As a dietary supplement, take two capsules daily. May be taken 60-90 minutes prior to physical exertion“.


So it is efficacious for the old feet.

Went to the local super market, the girl at the inquiry counter said they didn’t stock Horny Goat Weed. She suggested I tried the pet shop.

Woman in pet shop called me a dirty old man. And told me to leave the shop. Odd behaviour.

Tried the Chemist, very nice young lady behind the counter smiled and winked (perhaps she had dust in her eye). Told her I wanted it for my feet - peculiar reaction, she giggled. If she had my feet she wouldn’t laugh.

By the time I got home my feet were killing me, so thought I’d take double the recommended dose.

Unexpected reaction, it did nothing for my feet but I felt an overwhelming desire to head butt the door. Also some strange stirrings in the nether region.

Caught the wife reading the pill bottle, she smiled and had a twinkle in her eye. Said she wanted to show me something in the bedroom.
A combination of the wife and the side affects of Horny Goat Weed - no energy left to type.

Don’t know if my feet are better, I got no feeling from the waist down.
