At a mensa gathering, a member guessed my age to be anywhere between 18 and 40 due to my shaved head. Today, a customer asked if I was 30 (this all started because she asked me if I was an actor; she said I sounded/spoke like actors from old black and white films ) , and when I kept quiet, she wondered if I was younger, and when I still kept quiet, she wondered if I was 40. Well, needless to say, I told her that I was not comfortable revealing my age and she was fine with that. However, the next time someone insists on trying to guess my age, perhaps I will simply remark that I was once a young man a very long time ago and leave it at that.
You're a rare, strange, and beautiful creature, Kernel.
