A Friend In Need

A friend is someone who will help you move. A best friend is someone who will help you move a body -- Sisyphus, with tongue firmly cheeked.

Question: At 64, I'm still fully capable of helping friends move heavy stuff. But I wonder, as I observe each new birthday, when can someone finally play the age card to get out of moves (without anyone thinking badly of you)?
