We all have been approached by someone that's too old or at least too old for our liking. As a child my mother always said to stay away from old men because they have worms. Lol. I thought it was something that everyone knew until I moved to Chicago, mentioned it randomly in convo, and the statement caused a bunch of laughs. So here I am back in the South, a 76 year old with a neck filled with passion marks (Yes, apparently he was "getting it" in before his exam. :-P) asks me for my digits so he can take me out to eat every once and a while. As I told one of the techs about my experience, she laughed and said her mother and grandmother told her that old men have worms. We all giggled and said ewe, and it was confirmed that we all had heard the same thing. Is this just a thing of the South or is this a black thing? Lol. Secondly, exactly what type of worms are we referring to? Are they like heart worms like dogs get? How did they get them? Or is this some sort of a myth that was used just to keep young girls from ever considering giving in to whatever temptation these old geezers may have to offer? Who wants to try an old man to find out? Certainly not me, but the discussion of the topic is far more interesting than finding the truth.
