Attractive and slightly drunken young lady, whose birthday is being celebrated: "How Old are you?"
FlamingBanjo: "I'm (my accurate age.)"
AASDYL: "No way! You look 23!"
FB, flattered but highly skeptical: "Thanks."
AASDYL: "No seriously. You don't have any wrinkles or anything."
FB: "I credit clean living."
AASDYL: "You must have good genes. You should have progeny."
FB: "Okay!"
AASDYL: "Because your offspring would inherit your youthful genes, and they wouldn't have wrinkles either."
FB: "They'd be babies."
people have bred for lesser reasons that "you'd pass on your great skin". i'm not saying it's a good reason, but you should give it some weight. wanting to have children might also be a consideration.
so how old are you, that you still look 23? blood sucker.
