Accordingly, you would not qualify for whatever reward is stored up for those who observe this commandment, assuming you do not belong to a group which does not believe that good deeds qualify you for dividends in heaven in any case. I thought of this yesterday. I walked out of the house, and it occurred to me that I had forgotten my bus tickets. I did not feel like going back, so I boarded the bus, and asked the driver what the cash fare was. I obediently put six dimes in the fare box and sat down.
Various services define senior citizen differently.
Maybe I should have gone back and insisted on paying the higher fare, but I figured that that would persuade her that I was demented as well as old, so I desisted. While on the subject of bus fares, I recall another incident. I boarded a bus and handed a fifty cent piece to the driver to pay the fare. He handed something back to me which I held in my hand but did not inspect. When I alighted, I looked at what I had in my hand and beheld two quarters.
