The amount of "rip off the old people" scams keeps increasing with my every birthday. I want all those assholes thrown into prison until they're my age, then they can be let out so they'll be the ones getting scammed by punks.

Honestly, the shit that goes on today makes me wish they were still at the level of that old bastard in Mississippi who sent out all the Nigerian prince scam emails in the 90s.
