Did you ever see the movie, Tough Guys? With Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas? Well, if not, get a copy and watch it, especially if you are over a "certain age".
The thesis of the film is that there is no place for old people in western society any more, but the way it is demonstrated is both poignant and funny.
I won't spoil the plot for you, but I can tell you that it reminds me of what my son advised if I start to feel that I have become too old to cut the mustard:
"Dad, buy a 1000cc Kawasaki motorbike....
Then, line up 22 London double-decker buses...
Finally, put a ramp at one end, and phone the Guiness Book of Records....."
I like win-win propositions.
