Let me set the scene...
Last week, some teenage newbie New-Years-Resolutioner at my gym watched me doing deadlifts. When I finished up, he wandered over and asked me:
Newbie: "How long does it take to work up to those kinda weights"
Me: "That depends..."
Newbie: "Depends on what...?"
Me: (putting my arms into a tshirt) "Well, let's say... hmm... three years if you're using steroids."
Newbie: "Oh... (then somewhat hesitantly) ...So you took steroids"
Me: (popping my head through the neck of the tshirt) "Eh, no... I took nineteen years"
Newbie seems disappointed, but rather than trail off he flippantly interjects:
Newbie: "I wouldn't have thought you were that...."
Now he realises he has to trail off, lest he offend me.
Awkward pause...
Me:
(pulling down the tshirt bearing the familiar five ring logo and emblazoned with the words SEOUL OLYMPICS 1976)
"What...? Old? ...Dude, I've kept tshirts longer than you've been alive."
The most epic/classic/legendary quip of my entire life... no one else heard it, and this dork didn't even get it...
FAIL.
