How to spot An Old Geezer

Doing the rounds again.


How to spot 'An Old Geezer'

At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam.

If you bump into an Old Geezer on the sidewalk, he will apologize. If you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women. Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.

Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies. Old Geezers have moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren.

It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in the military serving their country.

This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values. We need them now more than ever.

I hope all of you out there realize there's much more to Geezers than just being old.

Thank you Old Geezers!

Nah - you're too young! You'd need to be over 100 to remember the 1st World War. I'm 65 and was too young to remember the 2nd World War. We're "Young Geezers!"

Re: How to spot An Old Geezer

I think you are confusing British old geezers with American old geezers, Michael .
Now, if you talk about 'old f***s' ...... there's plenty of them around

I should have mentioned that it had arrived from the states.

Most of us can relate to 'old f***s'
