Happy Birthday from AARP

I decided today to investigate what possible discounts my AARP membership would afford me if I had chosen to accept the offer made to me yesterday on my 40th birthday.

Reviewing their website, this is a small sampling of the discounts:

1.  Avis truck rental:  Call me crazy, but would anyone want an elderly person driving a big box truck.

2.  Walgreens:  OK, must be really sick and need a lot of prescriptions.  Or viagra for the nursing homes.

3.  20% of broadway musicals:  Even if i lived close enough to a city that offered them, I would shot myself before taking in a show.

4.  20% of Disney:  Now we are talking.  Wait……. No just the disneystore.com.  I guess we are to old and sick to ride anything in the parks.  I guess it is just shopping to buy crap for the grandkids that never visit you in the nursing homes.

5.  Gold’s gym/curves discount:  I do not go there now when I should.  Why would I change my mind later in life.

6.  Discount at Dunkin donuts:  Now we are talking.  This is what I will call my social security since the one now will not be solvent.

So, what will I do?  Apply or shred.    SHRED baby.

Later……………….
