Ich hatte mich jünger in Erinnerung (Ein Best Ager in der Blüte des Verfalls)

Hans Gerzlich is horrified when he suddenly realizes that he was born in the same year as... old people. During the commercial breaks on his favorite show, seductive aftershaves and fast sports cars are no longer offered, but rather Granufink, Voltaren and heat plasters. 50 on the outside, 20 on the inside, he asks himself, "When does life finally begin?" But the “Personal Pension Information” comes into play again. The newly crowned Best Ager has calculated that if he retires at 67, he can live quite comfortably for eleven days. That's why he's hoping for an increase in the bottle deposit. But he also thinks about repressing his own death. And whether his widow will buy him a new suit for the funeral or simply cut up the back of an old one to save money. The undertakers finally take it from the living person. From who else?
