Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
A programmer is drinking a diet coke. His aged mother looks up from her bowl of vanilla ice cream smothered in maple syrup.
Aged Mother:
You know, you look pretty good for your age.
Programmer:
Huh? Why thank you.
Aged Mother:
So how old are you now?
Programmer:
Umm, how old do you think?
Aged Mother:
I’d say you’re about 65.
Programmer:
(sputters) Umm, why, no. I’m not 65.
Aged Mother:
Older? Younger?
Programmer:
Umm, younger.
Aged Mother:
Much younger?
Programmer:
Well, yes.
Aged Mother:
Hrmph. Then I guess you don’t look so good.
(pause)
You’re going bald you know.
Curtain.
