Just found this local blog and, I swear, Reggie kills me. Check this out on the topic of growing old and starting to lose a bit of your hearing:

Just last week, I had a business meeting and an upscale restaurant called McCormick and Schmick’s. The place is beautiful, crowded, loud, and frankly I have never had a decent piece of seafood there relative to the price. Last week was no exception.

So my buddy and I head into a large dining area that looks to be set for 75 people. We find a good seat and start to talk. We can barely understand each other because of the afore mentioned problem, and the acoustics here were particularly bad.

I looked down and saw a buffet set up. I hate buffets.

I turned to my buddy and said, “I hate buffets”.

He looked puzzled and uncomfortable.

I asked, “Do you like buffets”?

He said, “Dude, I thought you said you hated your face. I didn’t think there was much you could do and I didn’t know what to say. Your face is okay.”

If you are not doubled over laughing at that, there is something wrong with you.
