Late in the night last night as the last swig of Coors washed down the last warm bight of taquito, and the needle finished the last song on my Dwight Yoakam record; I thought to myself, "Self, what about the last page of the GeezerMeter Bylaws you never read?" I put on my slippers, crushed out my last cigarette and went to my safe. I moved aside the guns, ammo boxes, small knives and letters from current and past lovers and proceeded to pull out the GeezerMeter Bylaws. I lit a candle and turned to the last page in the last volume of a mysterious set of books that a stranger left on my door step many years ago. What I read was short an too the point:
Volume 9, Article CVIXXIMCII, Chaper 23, Page 356:
"The GeezerMeter should live on as a rememberence of 5 difficult, unnecessary years of stagnation. Moreover, and most importantly, it shall become a tribute to the future movement in our seniority list and the "acknowledement" of experienced pilots that retire."
How I took this: If you have a number of retirements daily, monthly, or annualy you'd like to share or even a retirement story, feel free to pass it on.
The Meter will become unsticky tomorrow. It will be up to us to keep the GeezerMeter alive.
