Hazardous Substance Statement

One of the lenders I work for has a doc in every package entitled "Hazardous Substance Statement." Basically it means that if the borrow later discovers asbestos, lead in the paint, or some similar problem, the title insurance doesn't cover it.

Earlier today I was at the signing of a very nice couple, age 50+. When this doc appeared for signing, I started to give my usual one-sentence explanation of the doc. The wife interrupted me:

"Hazardous substances. I know what this means: my husband's underwear!"

Okay, Sam, watch who you call "old folks". I'm 52 and don't consider myself in the geriactric (sp) category yet. Umph!

52 is just getting old enough to know what you have and to know what to do with it!

Re: Hazardous Practice

Referring to 50+ people as "old folks" may result in being soundly beaten about the head and shoulders with a loose acknowledgment, or worse.
I understand that Hugh has ties that are nearly that old.

They're not "ties" in the sense of around the neck, but around the waist to hold the toga closed.

(A waist is a terrible thing to mind.)

What old folks... 50+? just wait, you'll be there and see

how old it's not. LOL

However, that said, yeah...some 50's are old. It's just that plenty are not.
Some 50 year olds are dealing with teenagers and listen to rock rap and Britney Spears at home and in the car. Anyone like that new group Jet? They sound a lot like the Beatles, especially one of the songs "Look What You've Done" or something like that.
