Saturday Overnight Open Thread (6/29/24)

There is no such thing as a grouchy old person. The truth is that once you get old, you stop being polite and start being honest.

My paternal grandfather was a Misanthropic SOB. I asked him once about the hickory tree in the middle of the south field. His reply wasn't as nice as the following:

Greetings, Mis Hum ... There's a gentleman by the name of Mark Bland who posts dozens of REELS on Facebook which he obviously creates with his wife's input ... Not sure if any of the material is suitable for your AOC threads, but watching them should generate some chuckles ... I have a wonderful husband and all my children were boys so -- for the record -- I definitely am NOT a fan of "guys are dumb" stuff ... But I found myself appreciating this couple's unique method for sparking discussions, so decided to pass it along ... Below are two examples.

Enjoy, ........(Name withheld to protect the innocent)

The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You^TM. If it sounds too good to be true. If it sounds too bad too be true. More than likely someone is attempting to scam you. I haven't had one of these contacts in some time. But, when I did I would tell them I would meet them at the County Court house so they could serve me papers there. I was never taken up on the offer.

JUNE 23--In an audacious and heartbreaking scheme, a pair of elderly Floridians were swindled out of $400,000 in gold bars by a phone fraudster who claimed that the victims were facing arrest due to illegal activity in their respective Amazon accounts, according to court records.

Last month, a 78-year-old Jensen Beach resident called police to report that he had been bilked out of $154,000 after receiving a call from a man claiming to be an Amazon representative.

After being told about purported fraud on his account, the victim was transferred to a “Brian Alba,” who said he was “an agent with the US Government and that based on the activity there were several warrants out for his arrest.”
