A function of age

As I walked into a grocery store this morning, someone behind me was whistling a tune.  Twenty-five years ago, my reaction would have been, "That's cool.  I don't whistle as much as I should.  I wonder what song that is."  Today, my unspoken reaction was, "That's weird.  I don't usually hear people whistle like that.  Did this person just escape from an asylum?"

Perhaps I'm not giving people the benefit of the doubt as often as I should.
