I want to ask those old guys (no offense to those applicable) what they were when they were younger.

The question's not worth the asking-- they've had lots of time in those Wal-Mart doorways to think up a pat answer.

My FIL knew a "retired" co-worker, age 71, who took a job helping to pour asphalt driveways during a Washington DC summer. His answer was "I wanted to see if I could still do it." Uh-huh.
