Stalking Venus

IOL is reporting this morning that the elderly are being beaten up by their own children in order to gain money for drugs. From the article:

“Many pensioners are being abused by their families, by their own children and grandchildren. Their grandsons need money for drugs and they get beaten up,” said Yvonne Bassier, chairperson of the Merewent Community Policing Forum (CPF), who was addressing a gathering of the Wentworth Sub-Forum at the Austerville Community Hall.”

All of which (naturally) made me think up a thoroughly distasteful joke…

What’s the difference between an old female violinist and a South African drug-addled youth?

One is a granny with a penchant for violins
The other’s a druggy who gets violent for pensions

Heh. A-heh heh heh.
