I think they should dress seniors in Stormtrooper outfits and such. They could be designed to give them additional motor support and they would look rad.


*give seniors the opportunity to dress themselves in Stormtrooper outfits.



Some years ago before I retired, I ventured into my local senior center to get a free flu shot, and nearly got sucked into a big square dance while trying to cross the room (it was mostly women and I guess they needed more men for partners). A functioning light sabre would have come in mighty handy that day!


That's not the only functioning Sabre that would have come in handy ;)


This was the premise for an Impractical Jokers punishment. Sal had to go to a community planning board and propose a "Senior's Playground".


Let them pretend to be professional sports team owners and give ra ra speeches. Oh wait...
