    Define your terms, please, Bock. To judge from some of the slings and arrows around here, an awful lot of Wordforgers seem to think anything over 35-40 is "old."

    I am the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

    Anything much older than that is just cheating death...

    It's true: Old people do suffer discrimination. That's why age discrimination is a serious concern in regard to employment.

    My dad told me to never get old, but I didn't listen to him. Well, maybe my son will turn things around.
