It must be an odd experience to deal with a welfare case whose annual
income is greater than yours.

The relative amounts of income are unimportant; it's what that money can
buy. I'd bet
the call center employees live better on their pay than a welfare
recipient does
here.

How much would you be willing to bet, George? We can work something out.
Hell, I'll give you odds.

Sorry, I must be slow. The joke is...?

Well, apart from INTERCAL being ...erm...'invented' about the same time
as I was born, it's a rather, umm, 'interesting' language.

Put it this way, many intercal programs start with the statement:
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP

Not anymore. The age 56 rule is on its last gasping breath. The FAA
can already allow needed controllers to stay past 56 and within a few
years the limit will be gone all together.

What about the maximum age to become a controller? Is that still 30?

Yes, but will probably change. They aren't in as much of a hurry to
change that though because they can get enough new controllers thru the
colleges and retaining the old farts.
