Old News
A little-known clause of the Geneva Convention requires that for every fad to come along, there must be an 80-year-old grandmother into it.
I can recall since the 1970s “Surfing Granny,” “Skateboard Granny,” “Rapping Granny,” “Breakdancing Granny,” “Internet Granny” and “Pot-Smoking Granny.” Probably others I can’t recall, or have blocked from memory.
This is to guarantee a steady stream of fluff news pieces for weather reporters before they give the daily forecast. I suspect the stations keep a list of elderly women on retainer for just this purpose.
Though “LARP Combat Granny” would be pretty cool.
