Age Before Beauty

I stood near the end of the line for the bus as I waited for everybody else to board. I looked around and saw that there were only a handful of us still waiting to get on. The [no-so-old] man standing in front of me signalled me to go on before he did. I smiled then shook my head. He smiled then said something, but I didn't catch it because my Zen [as usual] was playing really loud. I pulled one earphone out and asked "What?"

He said "Age before beauty, right?"

I managed to force a laugh and then I said, "No, it's not that. I live pretty close by so I don't really need to get a seat."

The truth is that I was pretty embarassed by what he said. Age before beauty. Had it been a younger man, I would have gladly stepped in front of him and said thank you. But it wasn't a young man. It was an old man. I am so ashamed because I forgot, for a second there, that he wasn't just an old person. He was a man too, whose manliness depended on showing off his chivalry to young'uns like me. After all, there are other qualities that define manliness besides brute strength even after brute strength is gone.

Chivalry is not dead
But it hangs by a thread.

I didn't mean for that to rhyme. But whatever. It works. :)

I learned a new word today: Facefucked. Hm, it's a good word. It means "stalked at Facebook." I love talking to Igor. It's always a learning experience.

Sure, let that be the reason why I love talking to him.
