Drabble by Kevin Fagan for September 19, 2021

Ralph, do you need something to take the sting off of that backhanded compliment?

I look pretty good for a man of 105.

Imagine the fireworks if he said that to her.

When I was younger, I was told I had a baby face, so I wished that I was older. Now that I’m older, I wish I had that baby face back. (Sigh.)

Once had my doctor say “you’re what, twenty-nine?” I said, “yeah, Celsius”.

I had a Jehovah’s Witness tell me once that " I seem pretty nice for an atheist."

My newest (fifth in four years) doctor was CONCERNED about my age and talked about putting me on statins. She was less concerned when my blood work came back looking like a 25 yo athlete’s. Can’t say I look like one, but given the choice, I’ll go with good internals.

OW! BURN!

Cruel.

I use that compliment quite often.

Even I have a lot more hair; my gut is nowhere near that big and I’m even one of those big numbers in age. Hit that gym boy….

Now, let me tell you what YOU look like, Honeybunch.

I miss the flag.

So now you know Ralph, tell everyone you’re 60.

Telling someone “You look younger than your age” is a disaster for a teenager.

she don’t look bad for 70 herself (b**ch)

And you look like a bucket of sh!t, Homelybish! What a horrible, miserable woman!
