When businesses started giving senior discounts, everybody jumped on board.  Pretty soon seniors could get a discount everywhere, and the age to qualify was really low.  Then came the recession, and the fun was over.  Most places don't even have them, anymore, and they've raised the age, too.  You can still get around it, though.  I went to the movies with a group of friends of various ages.  One guy said, "Watch this".  He asked for the senior discount and paid for all our tickets.  But only one of us was actually old enough to qualify.  "It's easy," my friend said.  "The ticket seller's about eighteen, and she thinks everyone's old".  Sweet.  Please e-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com, and come join me on facebook, too.  Farmville, anyone?
