"The Swami is Now Officially His Grandfather!"

(Written 11/7/11 by PrancerTheSwami for the Nice MDers Over 35 Blog)

The Swami is NOT pleased to be mistaken for his maternal grandfather! His granddad was OLD when he died at age 66 with a full head of WHITE hair. The Swami is just 64 and YOUNG!

The Swami blames it ALL on the chickypoo at the Burger King today!

But The Swami was fearful. For reasons The Swami has never understood, he looks grayer right after a haircut. Something about the longer hair on top not being as gray blahblahblah. And The Swami's hair has been slowly getting grayer since his mid-40s.

But until now, The Swami's hair has still looked "dark." NOT anymore! When The Swami looked in the mirror after the barber was finished, he was SHOCKED. Suddenly The Swami's hair looked "light." When The Swami got home and looked closer, he could find barely ANY dark hairs. WTF happened?

The Swami figures there's a "tipping point" with hair when it suddenly *appears* to go from dark to light with just a small percentage change.

When he whined to the Lovely Pamela, she somewhat soothed him by saying how much more "distinguished" he looked.

The Swami was thus somewhat recovered when he went to the Burger King today. But not for long!

There was the usual squawking back and forth over the stupid drive-in microphone. Then out of nowhere the chickypoo offered The Swami a special item from the "Senior Citizen's Menu." Say WHAT!!! The Swami was both outraged AND embarrassed!

But before The Swami cut loose and vented his spleen at the poor chickypoo, she mentioned that he would also get 10% off his entire order.

The Swami is all about the $$$, so he let it slide.

The other BAD news was that The Swami COULD HAVE been getting the 10% off for the last 4.5 years, but never thought to ask. Now The Swami is pissed at himself for being such a butthead.
