Feeling young

Sometimes TSA can make you feel great. On a recent trip I was told to remove my shoes. I argued that I didn’t have to as I am a few months away from 80.

The agent said I must be over 65 to enjoy that privilege. Nothing has made me feel that great since a stewardess asked me if I was traveling alone!
