I used to walk around in a T-shirt saying (in gothic letters, to protect minors): The Father, the Son, and the Whole KY Tube".
The text (especially with the connotations given by the gothic letters) may be seen as extremely provocative. Yet, I never had a single negative reaction. Either, people didn't care to read the gothics, or they didn't get the point.
Maybe it is so provocative that I will be censored from the Lounge.

A friend of mine went shopping with his wife once for a four-poster bed wearing a T-shirt that said:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but whips and chains excite me."
According to my friend's account, the salesman's ability to keep a straight face was awe-inspiring.

Hi,
I am working/contracting for a firm where most of the staff is still working from home. There are a lot of younger/graduates around. We had a major power cut on Thursday (build work next door managed to put it out). One of the test PC's on the shop floor died. I was the only technical person who knew what the 'odd' connects in the case were (ISA ports), the funky old version of Windows (2000) there was also whats that port (paraellel). The worst point was 'Win95? Old Skool'  turns out the guy wasn't born until 1999. To all when do you start feeling old not experienced.

That doesn't bother me. I never wanted to go into Management (shudder) - not even as a lowly Team Leader.
I have an "agreement" with my boss - he doesn't ask me to deal with political cr@p, thus freeing me to deal with the technical side. So far, it has worked quite well...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Almost the same for me, thank goodness!

Pretty much the same here. I have no problem being a tech lead but don't want the excessive BS meetings with managers, salesmen and such. Just have no patience for it.

At the moment I am the "Builder Dinosaur" who still maintains the scripting written in DOS.
I live in peaceful coexistence with some younger colleagues that love to use the latest web-technologies and know nothing about such arcane things.
But often I scratch my head on how to deploy their stuff, that's something they don't even think about it seems, or only as a last-minute thought.

Even in ancient Greece, there were laments about how today's youth dressed strangely and didn't respect their elders.

When I had to explain to the youngins that ASCII consists of codes below the value of 32 that originated from teletype machines, like BEL

Great set of delimiters (originating from the teletype days) in that set of characters under 32 ASCII.
Proud to be still developing and writing code (mostly C# and T-SQL) at almost 67.

Same for me. I'll be 68 in May.
