83 Year Old Man Carded at Liquor Store

After traveling ½ mile to a Grafton liquor store with nothing but a walker and a tote bag, 83 yr old John Delmont was carded and turned away when he couldn’t prove his age. The frustrated Delmont showed his WW2 tattoo, quoted lines from “Citizen Kane”, and tried to convince the man behind the counter that minimum wage was 43 cents an hour when he was young. The clerk, believing this was a local Police sting operation, tried to pull off Delmont’s mask and was alarmed when all he got was a handful of real skin. The determined Delmont walked to a Millbury liquor store and when he returned, he showed off his sunburn and blisters to friends as they sipped their warm but well deserved wine coolers.
