Advice from Old People
Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Standing at Clapham Junction
... waiting for a train. You Londoners are anti-social.
Except this funny old lady. Asked me and my girl politely if she'd missed the train. We're sociable northerners, so we chatted for a bit. The culmination of the strange and insightful conversation was the discussion about flashers - don't know why, never will understand how we got there. This lady was seriously cool. Mid 60's at least too.
"If i ever got flashed, i'd just laugh and say 'I've seen bigger on a monkey!'"
And that, my friends, is sound advice for a swift stabbing. But still, made me giggle.
