Subject: RE: BS: You are getting old when:
Any young sprout can have a 78-rpm record,Kendall; it takes an oldster to (a) have a gramophone (especially a wind-up one) to play it on; (b) know how to start up the gramophone and set the needle without scratching the record; and (c) know how to sharpen the needle (after 25 plays) because God knows you can't replace the one you have!
