Maybe, don't know if it is a good one.
"Good gracious," said the sweet young thing to the aging roué, "seventy isn't old for a millionaire!"
TPBM likes short jokes more than epic jokes.

Yes. This is the reason why I survive AudioKarma.

Very true, along with giving others respect.

A quick story. I delivered mail to a man who worked in the typewriter ribbon factory in town. He spent decades down in the basement of the plant grinding up pigment and making ink. His skin looked blue from the pigment getting into the pores. I had a letter he had to sign for so I drove up to his house. It looked like a converted tool shed and it was falling apart. I knocked on the door and he answered it and seemed scared about the letter.
The letter was from the town to let people in the area know they were going to be doing some work in the area. I told him about it and not to worry. I then said to him, "Sign here on the line, sir."
He looked at me and began to cry. I asked him if he was okay and he said "You are the first person to ever call me sir." That made one hell of an impression on me, how a few kind words or sign of respect can affect someone.

Ugh! That is so sad!
How people are ignored and allowed to fall through the cracks of social contact and common decency like that without any care or compassion shown towards them is beyond me. I try to carry myself in a way that honors and respects other people, and if I can make them smile, then that interaction has been a successful one. A smile, a few kind words, or a kind gesture can be enough to brighten someone's day, and if we all do that, it helps to enrich the lives of others. Deep down inside, we all just want to be acknowledged, loved, and understood. That story of yours is enough to leave a lasting impression on me, and only underlines the importance of trying to make this a happier world, not only for myself, but for others. The way we carry ourselves through this world and through our lifetimes affects everyone else around us, and so on and so forth. We are all connected in that way. Humanity should be like an interconnected web, not a sieve. Put into this world what you want back in return. Kindness and compassion always wins.

Hoo boy, yes.
TPBM has completed some important legal documents by electronic signature.
[My guess is that this has reduced the use of registered mail in recent years. Nearly all my recent home purchase documents were signed remotely.]
