Dear Crabby,

Do you think old timers should keep on snaggin' with help from Viagra?

— Time to Rise

Dear Time to Rise:

I don't think so, Old Timer. Your hips will either give out or you'll have a heart attack, OR BOTH.

— Crabby

Today kids have all the answers.

Heard in the hallway of a high school, between an adult and a student exchanging words:

Adult male: "Young lady," he said, referring to a young female student who wouldn't shut up. "You need to change your attitude."

"I will," she replied, "This weekend I'll go to Wal-Mart and buy a new one."

That said, she walked lazily away, while her untied Jordans flopped on the floor with each step.
