34. Not so old that I'm bothered by age. Yet.

34? Sheez, you're just a kid! 😉

(Then again, you're not that much older than my wife!)

Isn't it rude to ask age? 😉

Not at all, unless within sight (if I can see you and I ask your age that's rude, because I am required to believe that you are the youngest age that can be reconciled with your appearance).

If someone can't see you, they can ask; you then have four options: "about 100 years older than I look" is a pretty good put-down; "about 100 years younger than I expect you look" is a slightly poorer one; you should be able to work out the other two for yourself.

Anyway, I reckon you're nearly 45 years younger than our oldest threadizen, so I don't have to ask. 😀

edit: only days ago you were only half my age; now, thanks to integer arithmetic and rounding, you are older than that!

A year of failure, then: you should try to murder at least two per year! 😀

Happy birthday.

Strangely enough when people guess my age (and I mean people that I've met) they tend to guess 5 or more years off, in either direction
