Great headline on NPR this morning
Heard this this morning, the way it was read just cracked me up... go old people! :P

"At a retirement home in Whiterhaven, Florida, a 62 year old was picking through a salad with his hands. When the 86 year old that was next in line complained, he got a punch in the mouth. The 78 year old who tried to break up the fight got bit on the arm. The 62 year old's 80-something mother recieved a cut on the arm, and an 82 year old minding his own business fell down and cut his head. No one pressed charges. You're listening to Morning Edition, on NPR News."

3. No, someone had a camera
Fists flying...er...flailing, anyway. Old folks holding each other back. One oldster lying on his back on the terazzo. At the end, they're still egging each other on..."come on!"

I really don't know whether it is funny or sad!
