We were having breakfast at Shoneys.
Our waitress said
"I don't mean to embarrass you, but are you eligible for our Senior Discount? It's 10 percent."
"Whats the age?"
"50."
"I'm in."
Thus began the decent into geezerhood.

Discounts at the supermarket for anyone over 65, and I live in Georgia where everyone has to have an emission inspection that costs $25 before getting their car tags. If you are over 65, you can bypass that. And you also can opt out of jury duty.
