Yes, I understand there is some shedding of youthful indiscretions when you reach your 60's. ;)

I'm still waiting on the Wisdom Fairy to visit. Better fucking hurry, I'm running out of 60s.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

60 is the new 40.

If the maturity level of my older daughter is any indication, 40 is the new 15.

Maybe, but 40 felt a lot better than 60. :cranky:

You have to put your wisdom tooth under the pillow. You forgot? That explains a lot.

Not just your daughter. The 30's are the tantrum kids.

He must have a good editor keeping him on an even keel. :tea:
When you write for free you can write what you like in whatever way you like to express yourself. When you get paid for what you write the old adage "he who pays the piper calls the tune" applies. Editors are engaged to retain, and if possible increase the number of their publications' readers. It enables the publications to get more money for advertising slots, and therefore increase the owner's profit. The editor will be aware that hysterical outbursts are of limited appeal, even to the most right wing buyers of the publication. So, editor advises the writer that his services will no longer be required unless he adopts a more measured tone. Mindful of his need to earn a living, the writer adjusts his style accordingly. After all, his Uber venture turned out to be a dud, and Google maps fired him just a few weeks into his contract. He's running out of other potential sources of income.

Alternatively, he could apply for a job with the Fucks News channel. It employs an entire platoon of screaming banshees, so it might just add him to it.

Only in Europe and its colonies. They have limited access to guns, so the stupid people invent other shit
