She did not look blonde to me.
I think this is a better image of generational differences. And the fact you posted this, reinforces the stereotype that re-entry adults are somehow less valuable.
Not a good show, imho, JD. You hurt folks like me. Guess you haven't been affected by ageism. Lucky you.

No, KF, I am the poster boy for it. I can't get hired permanently anywhere because they are all afraid I'll just turn around and retire on them and bleed their retirement fund dry. I have heard so many euphamisms for "You're too old" that I may write a book about them.
But I can laugh at myself, and that gets me through it. Too bad you can't enjoy a funny scenario without analysing it to death.
You see, when I was young, I wanted a BMX bicycle. When I was 20-something, I wanted a BMW. Now that I'm 63, I'd be happy with a BM.
If God had wanted me to touch my toes, He'd have put them on my knees.
Everytime I bend over to pick up something off of the floor, I look around to see if there's anything else to do while I'm down there.
Out of all the things I've lost, My mind is what I miss the most.
And always remember; Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time.
Illegitimus non carborundum.
