With the onslaught of modern technology that gets thrown my way every day and being older than dirt myself, with four children, four grand-kids, a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law that turn their faces away and snicker to each other every time I attempt to make a phone call…I know a bit about this subject. So yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
That still doesn’t mean that he won’t stand there and stare at you like you’re the dumbest thing alive. He’s just like me. I know what you’re saying and I know I can hit CTR-ALT-whatever in the hell. Thing is, I just don’t care enough to do it. It’s a whole lot easier for me to feign ignorance and have one of you young whippersnappers ‘show up’ the old man. So you have to wonder, who was it that just got taught a lesson?
Ah, this all sounds so familiar.

I probably shouldn’t have let the cat out of the bag. But I think I’m safe, none of them read the old man’s nonsense he puts on paper.

Once the cat is out of the bag trying to get it back into the bag will result in serious scratches and fur balls being hacked up on your chest while you are asleep.

Clever. Feigning ignorance is, of course, the only practical alternative to real ignorance.

True. What’s that old saying, feigning ignorance is bliss but feigning intelligence is bull poop.
