Touchy Old Men Drinking Beer

Touchy Old Men Drinking Beer

It’s another defining moment in the history of COMDB. Touchy: someone who is easily offended, upset, or irritated. Could the cranky old men be described as touchy? If touchy means a very low tolerance for idiots than guilty as charged. But way back in the day we all...
