A middle-aged lady in purple glasses last night: “Do you mind if I ask how old you are?”
Me: “I’m 27.”
Lady: “Wow, you are old.”

You should have then asked how old she was, then said, “Wow–you look even older!”
I see you closed the comments on the post-election thread. Probably just as well. Trying to convince Bush voters that they just reelected The Beast and his smirking puppet is futile, though it has some cathartic value. Best to look forward, and take whatever steps are in our collective power to limit the damage they can do.
I can only assume those malfunctioning purple glasses of hers made you look like you’re 14.
Or, perhaps she’s actually 19 but has lived a hard life. When Charlie “Bird” Parker died, his body had deteriorated so badly from years of abuse that doctors guessed he was somewhere in his 50s. Most were shocked to find out he was only 34. Hey, it can happen.
‘Kay, my idea for an appropriate comeback to Purple Glasses Lady’s comment: “Thank you, and I must say you’re holding up quite well for your age. I hope when I’m 60 I look as good as you do.”
You should have told her that you look that way due to the degenerative bone marrow disease that you picked while helping starving children in the Sudan. Then ask her for a cigarette.
Oh good…I’m only 26. I’m not old yet. Whew!
I was old a decade ago. Damn.
yea being old sucks, at least we don’t have to live with that wuss ass kerry as our president, that guy couldn’t get it up if he tried.he was just a super idiot who was so dumb he couldn’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground. I actually heard on the internet he was seen in has backyard rubbing a hole left by some landscapers, with some toilet paper. because he couldn’t tell the difference. Since I heard it on the internet it’s got to be true because god forbid I read a paper and draw my own conclusion.
isn’t it fun when we reduce political discorse to petty name calling?!
