Yeah, but it's more fun to misinterpret you.

I know. I just thought that there *might* be less erudite people around.

Not that that is likely....

On the basis of your discussion I am in need of a large plastic bag to hold the ashes.

For those people turning 21, 21, 23, 40 or such may I advise you that until you reach an intellectual age of fifty you cannot properly distinguish between the ridiculous and the sublime. Those of us in the 'old and grumpy' age of life soon realise that life is not meant to be hampered by the constraints of lesser minds such as do not communicate on the fforum but should be lived without care and by eating the last piece of chocolate. (Right now its 12.27am local time and I have just waited for my teenage daughter to go to bed so I could sneak the half packet of TV mix out of the fridge and have nearly finished it.)

I feel no shame.

That is what age acquired maturity allows one to do, youngsters.

So... Once you have the "age acquired maturity" you are allowed to act like a tike again?

As someone who is none of those precise ages, I reserve the right to whine about feeling old :P

And what about just acting like a tie anyway? Then we get into trouble. *mutters*

Why'd you leave out 25, 30 & 35?
Gotta say that 26 was the age that freaked me out- I realized I was closer to 30 than 20-
after that, 30 was no problem...

I find that if I don't eat something sweet before I go to sleep, I'll dream in outrageous puns-
wait, what's the topic?

Forgetting the topic and having dreams like you describe is punishment enough.
