Just don’t do it around the time you’re facing a RIF or lay-off. We had to “counsel” a supervisor who didn’t get it.I think I'm gonna start whispering "I see dead people..... " to all of the youngsters at work.....

You know you’re a geezer when you’re so old you remember seeing the first issue of Mad Magazine at newsstands.

I'm still pissed that my mom tossed my Mad collection when I went off to college.

I'm currently in upstate NY and just attended my 50th HS reunion does that qualify me as a geezer?

Wife and I just spent time in Hawaii. While mindlessly shopping in Paia, Maui, a thirty-something dad picks up a small poster and asks me, “do you know who this is?” Why yes, that’s Alfred E. Neuman from MAD magazine I respond. His motto was “what...me worry?”You know you’re a geezer when you’re so old you remember seeing the first issue of Mad Magazine at newsstands.

This was followed by a far off stare and crickets...I moved on shaking my head. 😂

I'd be pissed too. Imagine our annoyance when our mother threw away my sister's Beatles albums, including the original mono recording of "Meet the Beatles".

An interesting thought:
The best forecast of the future that I read when young was: Mad Magazine

Well they will start to reprint old issues.They have 550 of them to draw from.
Sad that it has to come to this.
Mad was/is a great source of fun info.
