Saw a tee shirt that said " Don't ask me to act my age, I have never been this old!". As an 87 year old, that makes perfect sense to me!

Supereal my sis got me a couple of Tees on my 85 day. One had straight out of 1933 & the other had It took me 85 years to look this good. There was a gorilla type face on it also.
That was a few year ago. But this is Ol Rons' day soooo hope it was a good one Ron.
