Last year when my girlfriends and I went on a weekend cruise to the Bahama's, we had a interesting experience...
A few of us are in our 40's, most of the others are in their 30's. This young (21?) y/o drunk guy gets on the jitney we were all on and proceeds to start asking us all questions:
Q: "So what are you all here for?"
A: A girl's weekend cruise
Q: "So why are you all cruising together?"
A: We all do this dance thing, and this is a cruise for the dancers (well, that got his attention!)
Q: "Wait, are you all - like - cougars or something" (loses his balance as the jitney makes a turn...yeah, pretty drunk)
A: <ha,ha,ha,ha,ha>
Most of us laughed, a few didn't know what a cougar was, and the younger ones were quite appalled to be included in the group!
It made for an interesting jitney ride! And plenty of cougar jokes and growls for the rest of the weekend. We all decided we weren't old enough to be cougars, we were "cougarrettes"...LOL. Had to make ourselves feel better somehow!

I'll be 65 on Nov 7. Not sure I wish to be cuddling up out a cougar. However if a 40 something "reverse cougar" has any ideas, please contact me off line.
