A Hypothetical Question

Wouldn't a "hypothetical question" really just be "?"

Your's is a real question...

18 going on 12.....

boy do i ever wish.

Who knows anyway..
I don't act my age because I don't remember how old I am. When I go to the doctor and the nurse asks me how old I am, I have to stop and think and try to remember. Once I had to get out my Palm and do the math. My guess was two years off. My actual age is um 2002-1947 = 55, I feel about 43.

Maybe we should express age as a reduced fraction ie. actual/felt So I would be 55/43 or 1.27 , someone else who acted and felt their age 72/72 would have a 1.00, so would the 21/21 but the 40/50 would be an .8 and the go-go-go 40/20 would get a 2.

We would all express our ages by this digital system indicating only how old we felt not our actual ages. A 2.o would be seen by some as extreme and a 1.o as bland, no one would want or admit to a less than 1.o and the perfect age would of course be 1.27 .

Joe

those numbers look like a blood a pressure reading....only mine are double that.

but then again 18/12 would really be 36/24 joe?

24 was a good age, so was 36. have to do the math here and see if you're on to a good one.

I guess I'd be the age I am.

I would be 39, because that's the age I have my rewind set to in order to fix all the thought processes leading to the BIG, HUGE FAUX PAS!

So, I'm 39 and holding.........

Wow, Joe! I would never have figured that out in a million years, even though that's the age I'm approaching. My math skills are even worse than my understanding of the English language, which fishin' so generously pointed out.

I am a very young old person :wink:

When and if I ever grow up y'all will be the first to know.

Actually chatoyant, I was trying to make a funny with my comment but it sort of sunk like a brick.

I am old enough to be married and have a mortgage, but young enough to still think that,"pull my finger" is funny.

It varies - but I know that I am a lot younger than when I was a child.... I was really old then.

I think I do 3 up to my actual age...

I'm 28, but I look like I've had a hard life!

Early twenties I would say - though my body does not agree with me (specially after all night partying)

'bout 12 . . .

We sometimes amuse ourselves at work - remember I work with kids - trying to figure out how old each of us "really' is. 'Tis a very amusing exercise....my boss is twelve!

Nobody will tell me how old I am - but one of my colleagues once had a "Debometer" - which had a little arrow which you could turn around.

The choices were - Pooh Bear, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Christopher Robin and Kanga .... he is a wise man in his own way, and a good friend, so I guess that must tell you SOMETHING..... I tended to veer from Eeyore to Tigger.......waaaaah.

dlowan, Eeyore and Tigger are my favorite Pooh characters! What's with the waaaaaaa.......

Okay, I'll test the 1.27 being the perfect age.
That would make me 36/28. Yep, I like the sound of that. I do think of myself as 27-29ish.

I guess my mental age will be 21. up to last year one of my goal is life is to attend a senior prom until I die. this puts me at eighteen but last year I decided I do not want that anymore so that makes me 21. Numerically my age is 41 this coming Friday

I'm fine with my age, let's say I am a 1.10.....
