Unedited rant for May 26, 2006 The humble Farmer radio show. Hear humble tell stories on his web page. Thank you for readng this and thanks for listening to my radio show.

You might have seen that Morning TV show where people got injections to remove the wrinkles around their eyes. I didn’t know about this procedure although I was aware that old women could have wrinkles removed by surgery. You can usually tell who these women are because after two or three of these operations their skin is stretched out like a silk stocking filled with softballs and you get the impression that they must sleep with their eyes open. It is also no secret that there is a great market for a pill that takes the wrinkles out of something else. One of the great tragedies in life is that young people do not think about impending wrinkles. And, of course, it might be 40 or 50 years before kids realize that the old man knew what he was talking about and that, had they listened, they could have been spared a bit of grief. This is too bad because young people are the only people who are in a position to do something about wrinkles. Hey kids. If you don’t want wrinkles --- on any part of your body --- 30, 40 or 50 years from now, don’t smoke, stay out of the sun and never, ever be foolish enough to get in a tanning booth.
