How Old Is Old Enough ?????????

So ........... I went with the Kaptain to the Veterans Admn. which is located some 1 1/2 hours from my not-boarded-up home, to visit the United States Government Medical gurus re: annual eye checkup. We arrived in the rain, parked in the U. S. Government parking lot, walked the golden path, rode the elevator, checked in, sat in the waiting room until The Name was called. At that point we went down the hall and had an interview with a nice young lady technician and the Kaptain proceeded to tell her the story of his life and how he was recently commodore of That Club and how his boat is at another club where he used to be on The Board, and how we are returning to said club tomorrow. The Best News was that he didn't tell her all about his ex-wives and how many there were and how many are alive and how many are dead and how he doesn't know what happened to some of them. Then we went back to a waiting room and waited with the same gentlemen who had been in waiting room #1. After a while The Name was again called and we went to a doctor's office where they dialated his eyes and inspected him well and he proceeded to share all the previously mentioned information (known in FL family circles as: TMI aka too much information). He then expounded on all his medical history, arm, shoulder, hip twice, what the last eye exam 3 weeks ago in FLL showed, etc. etc. etc. FINALLY it was time to go but he couldn't see since his eyes were dialated so I was happy to get behind the wheel of the Forbidden Car Because I Might Wreck It. I started the motor, put it in gear, pulled out of the parking space and reached for the windshield wiper nob and was told YOU CAN'T DRIVE AND OPERATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AT THE SAME TIME SO I WILL DO IT.

NOW; I am almost 68 years old. I have been operating windshield wipers since I got my drivers license at the age of 14. That makes it almost 54 years I've been driving and operating a windshield wiper at the same time. MIND YOU - not a cell phone, no changing my shoes and socks while driving, not writing notes on paper, not setting radio stations ..... JUST PLAIN OLD DRIVING AND RUNNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER.

Yo Mama is demanding family vote describing my ability to do the above. I will be sitting by the computer waiting.
