For what it's worth dept.

According to Prevention magazine(Jan.'06), Australian researchers
recently found that people between the ages of 65 to 93 are likelier to ask
"sensitive" questions to others in public than younger people. The section
of the brain that handles inhibition deteriorates with age.

I don't think it has anything to do with any physical or mental changes.
I think it has to do with having used up all our blushes. The older we
get, the harder it is to embarrass us.

Chak, who had to go look up how to spell 'embarrass'. :-)

Well IMHO, this is probably true. Old people have asked me embarrassing
questions all my life, like: Are you wearing clean underwear?, Do you have a
girl friend?, What did you learn in school today?and lately, Stanley! why
are you looking at page 3 again?

That explains why I dance on the bar these days.

I could use being a little more spontaneous in my life (without
inhibition.) Alcohol, Paxil, and Prednisone, I have found, do the same
thing as aging in terms of spontaneity. Sometimes they can get you in
trouble!

Hehe. In my case, I was gonna say it must be incipient
dementia. I find myself getting blunter and blunter.... And
I have about 9 years to go before I hit 65. I hate to know
what I might say then!
