One of those things you can’t make up:  one of the most popular if not the most popular activity among elderly residents of nursing or assisted living homes is cane-to-body combat.  Martial Arts instructors are teaching people with canes how to fight off an attack using their canes as weapons.  Apparently, the best canes to use are those made from hard-woods like hickory or oak.  Old people love this because a) carrying a cane is legal, so they have the weapon in plain sight at all times; b) it’s good exercise and c) they can whack people for fun while practicing.
