Which reminds me - I have to come up with a suitable slogan for a t-shirt...
"Not a toy"
"Blunt instrument"
"427cid - because I'm just plain mean"
"For ages 50 and above"
"Earth Killer"
"Frankenstang"

FRKSTNG would make for a decent personalized plate, at least here in Ohio where you're limited to seven characters.

I tried to get a custom plate but they rejected it - "427 AMF"

Try for "427 MFKR". Tell them it stands for "Mustang For Kids, Really".

"Crisis"...
No, a mid-life crisis usually involves a trading in the wife on a much-too-young bleach blonde bimbo with huge knockers and the minivan on a small expensive sports car.
A mid-life crisis has absolutely nothing to do with something you've always been into - I've been driving fast Fords for most of the last 40 years, so the only thing that's really changed is that I can now afford it.

Every time I see a mindless posing bimbo at a car show, I'm glad I'm married to my wife. Yeah, the MPB might be nice to look at, but at some point, she has to speak, and that's when it all falls apart.

I'm getting really annoyed at the medias attempt to make a story out of a Politician not knowing the price of something basic like a pint of Milk. So what. Here is the latest[^]
Apparently it's scandalous when Politicians don't know the answer, and it shows how out of touch they are with the real-word. The thing is I don't even know the answer and I probably would have guessed around the 70p mark like her so perhaps I'm out of touch too. I don't know how much a loaf of Bread is either as I don't normally buy bread on it's own.
In all honesty (without cheating) can you answer these questions
1. How much is a pint of Milk?
2. How much is a loaf of bread?
3. How much is 1KG of potatoes?
4 How much is Butter?

Not the exact prices because they rise so rapidly unlike my check. I know I'm losing ground every time I go to the store and it pisses me off to no end.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I'm with you on that! Every time you go shopping something (and normally more than one thing) has gone up in price, or gotten smaller...

I can't see how to raising your check higher will solve that problem...In my pocket or on top of my head it has the same value

Local prizes are good for you?
But honestly and without cheating...
In a case of some people who have important job it is acceptable to not to buy food by himself (herself), that's the reason we pay them so well...
The problem is when one grabs the good money and after that one spends time to keep the job and not to do it...

1. Rs. 75
2. I don't buy bread
3. May be Rs. 30 (not sure)
4. I don't buy butter.

1) Depends - generally 49p at Tesco / ASDA and 51p at Co-op, but I buy the 4 pint bottles for £1 and throw away the last 1/2 pint or so when it starts to go off.
2) Depends - £1 Thick Cut (Braces Wholemeal) or £1.25 Medium cut. A Salt&Pepper French loaf from Tesco is 79p
3) 2lb and 3.27392 oz. Price? It depends on which type you buy: King Edwards about £1 per kilo, but Jersey Royals and Pembrokeshire Earlies are more expensive.
4) Too bl@@dy much! Varies enormously depending on which you buy, but the Welsh Butter I like is £6.40 per kilo.

Hey - I do the shopping, as I can make a list (well, four lists) in advance and stick to it.
If it ain't on the list, or seriously reduced and freezable it don't go in the basket. Unlike Herself, who can shop for hours and still not get what we actually needed. If I shop without her, I can do the whole damn thing in minutes instead of several boring hours and the risk of arrest because I got too bored and started playing...

There are loads of things you can do in a supermarket, only some of which will get you arrested!

Since the car accident I can't shop anymore without a list, I never used to use one but always knew more or less what we needed and then looked for anything on offer.
Saturday morning I dropped my daughter off at swimming at 9 then went to the supermarket because I knew we needed stuff and was going to grab a few essentials. When I got in there the only thing I could remember we needed was cheese (to give the dog his tablets in). I wondered round and round the shop hoping inspiration would strike but nothing at all did.
So I bought bacon, sausage, black pudding, eggs, bread and fruit juice and went home to have a decent breakfast instead.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I used to be a Professional Drinker and Dope Head - I learned that a list is a Good Thing as otherwise you come back with a lot of stuff that "seemed like a good idea at the time" 
And nothing that you actually needed...
