At Home Depot the other week I saw a toilet that had a demo of a bucket full of golf balls flushing down in one pull.

Boomers love torpedoing their stable, moderately happy family lives by cheating on their spouses and then marrying the other person to form an unhappy new marriage

Boomers helping always have to make it so you spend an equal amount of time fixing the help. It�s like action and reaction; it�s a law of nature.

People thing of Boomers as if they were all hippies calling for an end to Vietnam now and doing drugs at the Summer of Love. In reality a TON of them were the same angry nerds that exist today, looking at all the other people their age having fun and having sex and getting more and more angry and reactionary against their own generation.

Boomers HATE flying. They hate booking tickets online, they get super stressed about printing off their boarding passes exactly twenty-four hours before the flight, and have elaborate theories about how not to get bumped off of flights at the airport

Driving slowly enough for you to overtake them, but speeding up when you try to do so, turning it into an unsafe horse race. Making a hilariously exaggerated angry face at the other car.

When Jenny Met Forest
Jenny orders the Jenny�s Catch, a microwaved tilapia coated in congealed butter sold for $18.69 at Bubba Gump�s Shrimp House. She falls to the floor, writhing and dry heaving. From the next table over, an old lady shouts to the waiter, �I�ll have what she�s having!�
