Public Humiliation

We were publicly humiliated at a wedding last night and I think I really need to give my side of the issue before things get out of hand. We had to drive 30 miles to get to the reception after the wedding. Plus there was a bit of lag time, on top of the travel time. Let's just say that the natives were getting restless, and hungry. Now, I was sitting at a table with relatives of the groom, which should have given us license of some kind. And the Aunt of the groom and I are really a bad combination. Now, we were trying to ascertain just how the tables were being dismissed for the buffet, and for the life of me, there just didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I must have blacked out because the next thing I knew, we were all in line for the buffet. And the MC was saying something like this, "Now, people, if we could just wait until our table is dismissed, we could minimize confusion and mayhem." I have to say we were not repentant at all, and thoroughly enjoyed our ill gotten food. And the son of my friend, the aunt, who happened to be a groomsmen, came over to our table later. He said, "I looked up and there was my whole family in line...I was so proud."

Now I ask you. Once you turn 60, doesn't that give you some sort of carte blanche to do crazy old lady things? I mean, how old do you have to be? It's not as if I whacked someone with my cane. I don't have one of those yet.
