Punched in the head by old man

My Grandad has been ill the past few months and I visit him in the hospital as much as I can. He’s sort of the inspiration for Mr Amperduke, a remarkable man full of all kinds of crazy knowledge and stories. I was up with him a few weeks ago and one of the other old men on the ward socked me in the head. It was hilarious! It took him around 5 minutes of shuffling as stealthly as he could to get around behind me, he stands there for around a minute and then POOF, the frailest punch in the history of gaylords.
His hands are like rotten plums and it felt like a flick. Ah the poor old clown, he must feel anger that he doesn’t get as many visits. Apparently this man has Alzheimer’s and wanders around with his lad hanging out. My Grandad is mentally as sharp as a tack so he’s just as disturbed as me by all this.

The whole hospitalisation episode has really made me think about things, I whinge with my back pain and erectile dysfunctions but compared to an 85 year old I’m Mr Universe. We all are. To be young and relatively healthy is a wonderful thing so get busy living. And when you’re old you get to punch young people in the fokkin head innit?
