At 70 years old, Mr. Seed Looper is going to stroke out before he gets a pension. Actually, I believe he strokes out daily.  "Oh nurse, get the wet wipes for the keyboard, eh!"     Ya know we're gettin' old when we start talkin' 'bout retirement.     How many proggers get regular prostrate check ups?  Bottoms up!

I've just seen your pic in Rogues Gallery.I'm having a stroke now!

"Great news,now you can work until you are 70!"

Very bad@$$. You gotta appreciate someone who jumps at the opportunity to one-up a demolition crew. You beat 'em to it!

Nonsense, trust me.

You got a light??

You seen 'The Hitcher' ??

Next to me, Rutger Hauer is about as frightening as Jon Anderson singing 'The Circus of Heaven'

Actually, that is quite scarey isn't it...

But like they say, it's the 'quiet ones' you gotta watch out for..
