Sometimes I'd like to be a lot older

    A scobie type just came up to the shop I work in, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that he won €8 on a lotto ticket.

    I wanted to say "Well now maybe you can go buy a razor and shave that caterpillar off your lip", in a jestful manner of course, but it seemed like a joke that would only really work if I was over 50.

    It wouldn't have worked then either

    You're not very nice if you feel like insulting people who come into your shop!

    Yeah, no doubt it's a cringey dad joke, but still. Would be nice to be able to make 'em now and again.

    In retail, I feel like punching most people who come to the shop, let alone insulting.

    Anyway, it was a ridiculous "moustache".

    And I'm lovely.

    No you're not lovely. You wanted to make fun of someone for your own amusement.

    Not lovely at all!

    I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six four Impala

    I thought this was 'sometimes I'd like to be a lot taller'... But even if you were taller and older, still a poor joke! ;)

    Jealous because you didn't win the 8 squid? :pac:

    Anyone else find it mildly ironic that people are getting on their high horse because the OP wanted to insult someone but didn't, in AH of all places? :pac:

    I'm lovely enough to not pass judgement upon people I know only one small piece of information about. Also, you'll notice that I didn't actually make the mild comment in the end anyway.

    That's actually hilarious :D

    Some jokes are funnier from a height.

    You should be ashamed of yourself OP. :P


    Now let me tell you about all the things I didn't do today :pac:

    Moustaches that are groomed are creepy.

    Tbh its tom selleck or bust.

    Groomed moustaches are a no no.

    Think about it, Hitler, gary glitter . . .

    For me when i do have hair on my face its like Sébastien Chabal

    Maybe at fifty you'd be brave enough to say it to his face instead of running on to here to sneer about him.

    Yup. That's one of the reasons it would be better.
