I'm 37. Im not old.

I just realized I am now the exact age referenced in one of my favorite comedy bits:

King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?

Philip,

That entire dialog is so fantastic. They were some of the best intellectual comedians of our time. Here's the entire dialog for that scene:

Yeah, "we're an autonomous collective", "help help, I'm being repressed" ... all good stuff.
