PalmettoTiger 1 #1 June 8, 2001 Apparently the Norwegians aren't dealing too well with the increasing average age of their population - they're hiring geriatric bouncers.QuoteOSLO (Reuters) - Marta Aurenes, 91, says she is looking forward to becoming the country's oldest bouncer at her favorite pub, Skjenkestuen, in Stavanger, western Norway.Aurenes told Reuters Thursday she had agreed to sign up for a bouncer course after local police ordered Skjenkestuen to hire certified bouncers at weekends."The pub has been there for 15 years, but has never needed any bouncers because it is such a terribly quiet place," Aurenes said. "If a man gets a bit tipsy he is usually followed out by a couple of men without any fuss."Skjenkestuen hired two other regulars -- a retired sea captain and a psychologist -- in response to the police demand.Aurenes, a regular at the seaside pub for about five years, said she had started to do a little exercise in preparation for her new role but reckoned her day-to-day routines would not change much."Skjenkestuen is a very nice place with lots of people of all ages and attitudes," she said. "I like people."Aurenes is due to start her new job in September.
