I know bantering is hard for you Lonnie because you enjoy the company and conversation of all those advanced years, babes, in your community, but if I may make a suggestion on how to start, I will suggest just taking a jab at one of the macho guys here. Insult their manhood or something, whatever you old guys do.
I didn't know bantering was a form of dance. I thought it was conversation. I am a great dancer so they tell me.
