Seriously…More than 11,000 people turn 65 each day. That trend is expected to continue through 2027.

From Stephen Potter's very funny book Lifemanship (which teaches "how to be one up on your fellow man without actually cheating"), a recommended casual comment designed to stem the flow of a conversation that you're not dominating:

"I have been ill 114 days in my life."

People will fall silent as they attempt to calculate whether to congratulate or commiserate.
