Constants

There are two constants in this world. One is the gravitational constant.

The other is the fact that old people will never figure out how to buckle their seatbelt in my car.

Many a time my grandparents have been passengers in my human transport vehicle (the '95 Bonneville). Many a time I am serenaded by the same string of commentary and quizzicalness.

"How do I?...Damn...What?...I can't...It won't go in there...Help me...I can't buckle this damn thing." (or "darn thing," if it's my grandma having trouble).

What? Les actually says, "Damn"? That's pretty strong language.
Now, if he could not see your speed, the amount of gas in your tank or your oil pressure because of the void of driver panel illumination I could see the use of such 'foul' language.

Grandpa Tardy is a damn fine man! Many non-cursers (and believe me I know)could take some lessons from him!
