Chat RoomTHINGS YOUNGER THAN REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MCCAIN.
Oh sorry, did I forget to mention war hero John McCain?
Nylon is younger than John McCain.
Nylon was first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush in 1938 - which makes me wonder what Ma and Pa McCain were using until then to brush little Johnny’s first teeth. It then grew in popularity as something that soldiers could give their wives to keep them off the trail of their girlfriends (and vice versa).
My Mother is younger than John McCain.
Here’s an email I just received from my mother:
“I am younger than John McCain and I get senior citizen discounts, I can’t bend, my knees hurt, and I just went on Medicare! And PS, the type is too small on your blog.”
Why age could and should be a factor:
*Memory loss
*Decreased stamina
*Greater susceptibilty to illness
*Possible lack of ability to relate to the issues and concerns of younger Americans
*And, of course, the increased likelihood of dying in office
A lot more things are younger than McCain, in fact almost everything is.

So does this mean that, when McCain was born, it was completely legal to get stoned, high, baked, really funny?

Penicillin is younger than John McCain. How in the world did he live through all the infectious diseases of childhood?

Horse hair toothbrushes are popular amongst the hippie/health food store crowd today. I imagine people used them ‘back in the day’. People in Pakistan I met there use sticks with frayed ends.

The only problem with this post is that it makes me realize, how youthful and energetic McCain is. ..not a McCain fan.
