Joker: Quit Yet Bitchin’, Boomers

Joker: A friend of mine visiting from out of town and I stopped by Costco yesterday. It was brutal. All these “baby boomers” were clogging up the aisles and talking about their latest medical problem. I felt very uneasy — My friend worried that we could catch something from the summer of 1968 crowd.

DFO: Damn kid. Poking fun at us aging Boomers who heard the Beatles in real time. But he does have a point re: my g-g-g-generation complaining about its ailments. I rarely if ever do. I find it boring and too personal. How about you.

Question: Do you tell others about your medical issues?
