Getting Older

You know you’re getting older when you walk into the feed store and ask if they have any gunny sacks and the girl behind the counter looks at you quizzically and asks, "What?"
And you say, "Gunny sacks. You know, for gunny sack races. Do you know what I’m talking about?"
"No," she replies.
And then you say, "Is there anyone here a little older than you who might know what I’m talking about?"
She points and says,"Yeah, that old guy over there."
And then you go ask that "old guy" about gunny sacks and he says, "Yeah, we have those. They’re in the back by the long-handled tools."
