I was outside yesterday when a mate hove into view.
Wearing a mask.
"For Christ's sake John, what is that for?" I asked.
"The Corona virus," he answered.
"Jesus wept," I replied. "You are 75 and have spent the last 76 of those years smoking, drinking, injecting Dettol into your eyeballs and generally being a burden on society and the NHS. To be honest, I would be surprised if you make it to the weekend. What difference do you think a mask will make?"
But he would not listen to reason and stumbled off, secure in the belief that a snotty hankie would cure all known germs.

Now I avoid the owners! |

...Picking on the elderly? I just stick with tripping the blind at shopping malls.

I'm glad you can find some joy in it.
One thing I miss, before the days of social distancing, was a little gag I used to pull on people while waiting around in line at the store or what have you. I'd wet the tip of my pinky finger and give the side of their ear a quick swipe. Just a graze. Naturally, they would turn towards me while swatting their ear with their hand, but let me tell you, I had a plan for that. My eyes were already averted off to their side, you see, feigning tracking something with utmost interest. Then I'd look back to them and ask "Oh Christ, did it sting you? You alright? What the hell was that thing?"
It always threw them for a loop. I'll miss those days.

Try standing in the parking lot and looking up at the sky.
If asked why, the reply is "Didn't YOU see it ?"
