I propose that we let anyone older than 65 cheat at board games and card games. Stop being so uptight. It's just a game. Let them cheat.

It's never just a game.

No way in hell. My stepdad cheats all the time, and we catch him at it and make him pay!

Granted, they don't know I cheat when counting up my score . . . :D

What next? Give them cuts in line at the King's Courtyard Buffet? Young people would starve.

I agree that older folks (as in older than 60, not necessarily 65) should be allowed or even required to cheat at games. We need to cheat to make sure we occasionally lose, so you youngsters don't get discouraged, depressed, or bother your mommies with your whining. :D

NO WAY! If you can get away with it fine, otherwise, if I catch you cheating run like Speedy Gonzalez, and if money is involved call the Witness Protection Program.

Don't you dare! When I can't win without cheating I'll put myself on the nearest ice floe and you can wave goodbye. It'll take me a while to find one.

I'd agree to let anyone over 65 cheat whenever they like... in return for yearly driver's exams. Seriously.

Funny thing--I was thinking the same thing for anyone under 30--twice yearly for under 20 or female. :e2bike2:

OK, OK, no hate mail--I'm just kidding. Some of my best friends are under 30 and/or female. :Ssh:

Are you nuts. Nobody should cheat. Ever. If you can't win on merit, get the frig out of the chair and let another more worthy opponent sit down.
