Very good one Bobby. One of the Pink Floyd ones is:
there's someone in my head but its not me. I often wonder who that is.
I think me from years ago.

That is exactly the same thing these old guys said.

Yeah, I imagine that would do it quite forcefully. I have been out of the military for 20 years. I am probably older now than many of my commanders were when I was in. I never thought of that. I think I would still have thought of commanders being older than me because my frame of reference is my twenties.
I remember the first time I met the parents of one of my students, and I was older than they were - it was a bit surreal; now it is more common.
Working in the university environment like yourself it is one that has the dynamic feeling of always being youthful. A decade passes but it sure doesn't feel like it except in the mornings when the reminder can sometimes be acute.
Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because youth is sweet and they are growing.

Getting old:
I was on Ft Meade a few years ago getting a haircut and saw someone in uniform also getting one. I thought he might be an E-5 because he looked so young. When he got out of the chair and I saw he was a Capt. I knew I was getting old.

Chris, Chris, Chris... *shakes head* I had a feeling you were going to invoke Dork Tower at some point.
Oh, one from an old friend...

Capitalism is based on presumption that you can win the game.
Socialism is based on presumption that you can play draw.
Misticism is based on presumption that you can quit the game.
But you can't...

I almost forgot the quote I had on my office wall for years,
" The beatings will continue, until morale improves "
:question: It reminds me about one that my technician had in his workshop. " Why be difficult. :hmmm:With a bit more effort you could be ruddy impossible", and just below it one that said, " Impossibilities we complete immediately, but miracles take a little longer".:fixit:
Bligh.

One I was reminded of the other day (don't ask how).
On a t-shirt back (and I wasn't able to see the front to find out what store it was advertising for):
"If all you are is guts and no brain, you're nothing but a haggis!"

Came across a quote I just had to share.
"When you are dead you don't know you're dead. It is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.":hmmm:
Paul, had to share that one on stupidity over on my favorite political blog. :)
