Does it really take a mathematician to conclude

But note that it leaves open the direction. I'm quite definitely younger than I used to be!

Some friends of mine, most of them of the Age of Wisdom and White Hair, were involved in a project that entailed a lot of heavy lifting.

One recounted to me this exchange from one such day:

"Oh, I can't lift the things I could when I was forty!"

"Nor me... but when we were forty we were saying we can't lift the things we could when we were twenty".

this does seem like a job for Captain 🦸 obvious, doesnt it? 🤔🙄

The older you get, the better you were.

It's true in an ongoing fashion! lol

Let’s see….

Oh, I just have to, it took a double Phd student in math to put my nephew, a philosophy student, in his place. I loved his gentle smirk when he said, Jack (invented name), we all know your love to argue.

Wait…. We’re not? Grrrrrr

sorry dearie, you'll have to speak louder
