I love seeing old guys sitting around telling stories and cracking
their shit up. They laugh and cackle, laugh and cackle. Have a coughing fit.

It's even better if they're drinking beer.

1. I especially like it if they're white and they talk about "immigrants."
That's ALWAYS a side-splitter!

2. I sat in St Stephen's Green in Dublin listening to a bunch of
old Irish guys gabbing and it was hysterical.

I never heard the word "fuck" so much in my life. They pronounced it "fook".

5. I met an old man outside a water ice stand in Philly one time.
He was wearing a Korean War vet cap, and I guess he was about 70-75 years old. I can't remember much of what he said, because his accent was thick and his voice raspy from years of smoking, but I do remember the conclusion of his war story...

"Whouda thunk a Dego and a Polack coulda been such good friends!?"

Too bad nice guys like that are almost gone now.

Note: This was harmless joking, below Archie Bunker level of soft bigotry. Don't flame.
