If this gets stuck in your head, there's a good chance you are getting up there in years.

It's all relative, I suppose.

Years ago, in a short news story, a young SR staffer referred to someone in his or her 50s as elderly. I'm still amazed that made it into print. But I've seen worse. Though the most entertaining newspaper screw-ups have nothing to do with ageism.

Back in the 1970s, a suburban Phoenix paper ran a sports photo that showed a high school runner competing while his unit dangled out of his bunched-up track shorts. That kid must be elderly by now.
