Default Redefining Geezers

There are actually several types of geezers that render your raw exam results uninterpretable. Let me explain the four groups of geezerdom.

1. The Fred Group who get a perfect score of 20. These are geezers with excellent and well preserved long term memory.

2. Then there is a larger group of geezers with some senility, who know they knew all twenty answers, but cannot produce all the answers.

3. Then there is another group of geezers who may have known all the answers, but cannot remember any of them. I would call this group the pre-Alzheimer group.

4. Finally there are the true Alzheimer geezers who take the test every day and continue to find it fresh and stimulating.

So if you are not in the Fred group, do not dispair, for you may still be a geezer in one of the other categories.

Non-geezers know they never knew the answers in the first place and are excluded from the above classification.

Dear Dr Frank--

I woke up this AM and wasn't sure what day it was. Am I endangered of falling out of the Fred Group?

What did you say, I can't hear you! Speak LOUDER!

I don't hear half of what my wife ever says to me. But nodding my head in favor of whatever she said usually works. I am not sure if I can't hear her or I have trained myself to just nod in favor of any noise coming from her direction. It seems to work though.

I'm not a geezer yet only 37 but I am married to an audiologist. I have found out already She has the equipment and isn't afraid to use it.

There was no debate prior to me taking this quiz about my geezerhood - but thanks for the confirmation Frank.

Default Geezerhood. !!

I disqualified myself from question number 1 for obvious reasons.

Lately I've become a Wheezer. Anyone ever had that happen?

I'm old & I smoke & have COPD, but I still play around & try to make people happy, so I guess that makes me a Geezer Wheezer Teaser Pleaser.

I'm old & I smoke and an Emperor with idle time, so I guess that makes me a Geezer Wheezer Caesar at leisure.

I hope you don't also have allergies that are flared when making your own orange juice that leaves a lot to be desired otherwise as well as being epileptic.
Otherwise you would have to add that you are also a sneezer squeezer teaser that has an occasional seizure.

Default Hey Frank

I just took your quiz and scored 95%.

#9 was the one I missed.


So, does that entitle me to be a "near Geezer" ?

95% makes you the "sole" Geezer in Solebury!

I have not read the whole thread yet to see if anyone posted all the answers to save us time of looking up any we are not sure about. I am 45 and think I got maybe 15 correct. Several were definitely before my time, but general trivia knowledge allowed me to know them.
