Old People Are Crazy....


No, I mean to intentionally pick on the elderly, but what motivates them and the thoughts that go through their minds make me wonder what is going on with them up there....
You may have heard of the 93 year old man from Michigan who froze to death in his home after the power company cut his heat off, and he didn't ever turn on the limiter... On the surface, it seems like a really cruel story about Big Brother killing an old man, but dig a bit deeper.....
Today, the man's attorney announced that the man's entire estate would be donated to a local area hospital. You heard right - the man was worth over $600,000 dollars !!!! Sorry, but it begs the question - why would a man worth over $600k not pay the $1000 utility bill he owed??? I'm flabbergasted.
We've heard of the occasional story of an old man or woman who lived on the cheap, only for their neighbors to find out that they were worth millions. Yeah, but none of them ever derpived themselves so badly that they died from it.... Any explanations? Am i missing something?
