FFS!

There is a direct correlation between your age and the increasing intelligence of your parents.

This is true. My partner has an eighteen year old, and you would not believe how stoopid we are currently! His incredible superiority over us is crushing!

That I'd been spelling the word "Maybe" wrong for almost my entire life - I always wrote it as "Mabye". All the way through school, college & university and it was never once picked up. It was only when I started using computers that I realised

... That ageing seems to shift hair grown distribution. Mutant eyebrows that need a strimmer, nose hair that could grace a barbed wire fence and hairy ears. Wax strips gentlemen...waxing your ears beckons as age slips from the ruminations of the early 40s to the rheumatics of the late forties.
