Two guys grow up together.
After college one moves to Michigan, the other to Florida. They agree to meet every ten years in Vero Beach and play golf.

"Hooters.”  
“Why?”
“Well, you know, they got the gals with the tight shorts, and the great bods' …”
“OK.”
Ten years later at age 40 they play.
“Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.
“Why?”
“Well, you know, they got cold beer, and the big screen TVs, and the football games.”

“Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“The food is pretty good and there is plenty of parking.”
”OK.”
At age 60 they play.
“Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“Wings are half price.”
“OK”
At age 70 they play.
“Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“They have 6 handicapped spaces right by the door.”
“OK.”
At age 80 they play.

“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“We’ve never been there before.”
