    Maybe the only reason I look forward to being old is that I'll be able to pull shit like this.

the comment didn't come off as ageist, so much as sad.

I don't know if one ever "looks forward" to being older -- and yes, the body gets older faster than any other part, but on the positive side:

You feel vaguely smart because rather than "pulling shit" you don't have to put up with any shit from anyone unless you want to. More on this another time.
