The problem with getting old, is you start telling jokes the younger generations don't get......

So, I'm in the deli of my local grocery store buying some sausages, and the very nice young Gen Z serving me has the nametag "Eric B". And I couldn't help myself, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF, I had to ask him "How's Rakim?". And, of course, he just looked at me and said he didn't know anyone named Rakim. And that's the problem with getting old, you start making killer jokes the youngsters just don't understand.
For those in the States, you've probably seen the TV ads with Dr. Rick helping those who are starting to turn into their parents. That's me. I've found I've started to laugh less and identify more with these ads. Pretty soon I'll be facing the wrong way in escalators talking to the out-of-towners; and buying brightly colored old-people pants that go up to my tits. It's such an insidious slope - from rolling your eyes at dad jokes, to laughing at them, to telling them.
Please tell me I'm not alone.
