    Sure. And he could have been there five years yet would keep his job over someone who is 34, busts his ass but only has one year over the paper. I'm not discriminating against age. The policy is.

    He's just pointing out that just because someone may be old-er doesn't mean they're automatically the dead wood.

    Really? Out of all the ages you could have chosen, why 26? Just pulled it out of the air?

    EDIT: Never mind. Perhaps it was a coincidence. I no longer care.

    That's what happens when people stop being polite and start getting surreal.

    Could someone go to the fallout shelter so we can narrow down which 26-year-old BTE supposedly impugned.
