There is the story of the Alchemist's apprentice who beged his boss to teach him how to make god. The man taught him, but warned him that while he is chanting the magic words he must never ever think of the pink elephant. Elated, the apprenctice started wrok immediately, but found to his horror that the thought of the pink elephant kept coming and the gold failed to appear. He then complained to his master, "Sire - if you had not told me about that pink elephant I would never hvae thought about it, but I am now unable to get it out of my mind" Retirement is like the pink elephant. Whose bright idea was it to conjure up the idea that people need to "retire" What sort of stupid concept is that? shiv
