Elderly People

Whenever I pass by the park, I always see elderly people sitting on the benches feeding the birds by throwing them bread. I think there is something very wrong with this picture. They are elderly people, why were they assigned the job of feeding the birds? They shouldn't have any jobs at this point in their lives. If anything, it should be the other way around... birds should be feeding the elderly.

I think the best part about being an elderly person is that you are able to get the senior citizen discount. It is a beautiful thing. And it's so easy to get... you just gotta be there... and be old. The reason for the senior citizen discount is that most senior citizens don't work, so they don't have an income. But, neither do little kids. I think there should be a little kid discount. People with no job don't have any income either. Where's the unemployed discount?

When an illegal immigrant turns 65, are they still considered a senior citizen?

I think I want to be a comedian.
