Does this make me old?

[mrrotten]

I have a friend that recently bought a new house, and while gutting the house, they found some bones. So I said the remains belong to Jimmy Hoffa, and she said "Whose Jimmy Hoffa?". I'm 32 and she's 25. Does that mean I'm just getting old and that's a dated reference?

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

Yes Old Man!


Granted I am 23 and know who he is.

[The Booty Disciple]

Wait, are these human remains? If so, you're off, but not because you know who Jimmy Hoffa is, but rather because you're more concerned about being old than the fact that a friend found human remains in her house.

Who is Jimmy Hoffa?

[Muskrat]

I'm 24, and I got the joke.

Isn't he buried under Giants Stadium?

The second or third season of Mythbusters seemed to establish that it's highly unlikely.

I always thought Liberace bought the bones of Jimmy Hoffa.

who the f*** doesn't get that joke?

[sunwukong]

No. My 16 year old cousin knows that reference.

There's a difference between outdated references and people ignorant of the reference, I've noticed. There's lot of people ignorant of basic stuff these days and it's not an age issue.

WHAA??? SPEAK UP, SONNY!

Hoffa waznt buried in da landfill in New Jersey.
He wuz buried in da landfill in Staten Island.

I mean....we don't know what landfill he wuz buried in.

Yeah. Dat's what I meant.

Since the topic is Jimmy Hoffa, I'll share this:

One day when I was in high school, the phone at our house rang. I was the only one home so I picked it up.

"Hello," I asked.

"Hi, I'm Jimmy Hoffa!" came the voice on the other end.

As you can imagine, my mind was racing. He WASN'T dead. He'd been in hiding all these years, and for some reason he had picked ME to reveal his story to!

Of course, it turned out that it was Jimmy Hoffa Jr. and it was an auto-call because my dad's union had formed an alliance with the teamsters, so my dreams were totally shattered.

I asked this girl at work some question about Napoleon, I supposed she may know an answer because she's still in high school and that's when we learnt about him.

She stared at me for like 5 seconds and said, "Dynamite?"

I just walked away.

I read an article by some guy who used to be in the mafia, and he said they killed Hoffa and threw him in the vat where they melted steel into car hub caps. So there would be nothing left of him, if that was the case.

[smokinvokoun]

Yeah I know who Jimmy Hoffa was. So you don't have anything to worry about....old man.

[Ultimo Chocula]

You're not old. Your friend is a nimrod and needs to put down the X-box controller and pick up a book.

[mattperiolat]

Not old, she's just ignorant.

Honest to God, what is going on with people who don't know history anymore?

[willywonka666]

You should have re enacted the entire Geraldo Rivera special just to teach her a lesson and make damn sure she knows her history.

No, it's definitely the remains of a small animal. I just figured after seeing the pictures, I just threw Jimmy Hoffa's name out there.
