Retire gracefully at 60

When you are 60 years of age, you are supposed to 'retire' from service. This has been the rule for ages and in most countries. There must be some logic behind this number of 60. Biologists, Evolution Ecologists, Human Behaviour Specialists, DNA mappers, Doctors, Ph.D's etc. (must) have all written tomes to prove this fact.

I witnessed the proof of this by interacting with one such sixtyish guy in our company. That's another point that his being around before he turned 60, was also surprising to everyone. Old's is right now on extension !!!! - (God save us).

The other day Old's called me up and was furious over something. I tried to explain him in very simplistic terms about the problem but he roared back that he didnt understand what I was telling him.

Now come on Old's. Youve turned 60, your not supposed to understand. You are supposed to sit at home or in your village from where you actually came. The Biologists can vouch for this with their facts. I mean fade away gracefully. And let competent persons prevail. The future of the world is at stake.

Aside: Most professions and activities have a official/unofficial retiring age. For normal 9-5pm jobs and services its round about (+/- 2) 60. For tennis players its 23/24. For cricketers its 29/30. The big-T (of the bat-ball game) has crossed this mark, mind you. Politicians, on the other hand start when they're 60. They dont retire. For corporate style jobs, if you dont become a CEO by the time you are 35/37 consider yourself an utter failure and fade away (retire) gracefully.
