Never under estimate the little old lady!

Date: 2003-07-04 11:18 am (UTC)A man has a complete facelift and makeover done. He's flat-out AMAZED. 20 years have been lifted from his features.
He goes to the bank and brags to everyone he can find. "How old do you think I am?" And when they would answer, they would invariably guess somewhere in the middle-30s, and he'd laugh loudly. "I'm 53!!!". And of course everyone was amazed.
He went to lunch and repeated the act, asking everyone in the restaurant to guess his age. None could guess it, and the man was pleased as punch.
He went outside, and on the street he spotted the Little Old Lady. He couldn't resist, and he asked her to guess his age.
She gave him a keen and sharp look, and said "Young Man, I happen to be very very good at guessing ages. But faces can lie, so I'm going to need to feel your testicles to tell for sure."
The man is in such a hilarious mood, he challenges her. She accepts, and sticks her hand down his pants. She hefts them, tweaks them, rolls them around, and eventually she nods and says: "I'd say you're fifty... fifty-three years old".
The man is stunned. "You got it, exactly! How... Where did you learn that trick? How does it work?"
She just smiles, and turning to get on her bus, she says: "I was in the bank".
