#1 In our 'polite society' the elderly have oftentimes become an inconvenience not unlike the unborn.

If you are over 50 years of age, your usefulness to society has become suspect. Those with the ability to 'write code' are the obvious exception.

#11 I’ve been too unhealthy to be properly useful since New Years Day 2002. Thank goodness Mr. Wife thinks I’m worth it anyway.

I grew up reading George Bernard Shaw’s plays, but thank to magpie, I now know what a vile little man he was.
