Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, 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.

People who know me know I hate talking in the street, if I'm outside I'm going somewhere so I was trying to politely get away. Unfortunately the bastard wouldn't stop shaking my hand.

The part were he loses the minor, grudging acceptance from me was when he said.
"But do you know who it is most telling in? The ones you can REALLY tell it from?"
"No. Who?"
"The Niggers... -no need to continue-
Somewhat paraphrased but the main points are there.
