Age Discrimination

Sad caption in one of the papers this morning: Elderly Man Remains Missing. The article goes on to say that "Authorities were still searching Sunday for a 66-year -old man who went missing..."

66 year old man? Elderly?

He's 6 years younger than John McClain.

He's 4 years younger than Jane Fonda.

He's 7 years younger than Julie Andrews.

He's 14 years younger than Queen Elizabeth (OK, not a good example.)

He's only 5 years older than Mick Jagger and Bill Clinton.

And how did this man turn up missing? Did they find his wheelchair on the side of the road?

NO. He's a deep sea diver! He's missing after a diving expedition. I sincerely hope he's found alive and well. Maybe he's on some big adventure. After all, he's the same age as Harrison Ford.
