One way to find out if you’re old is to fall down in front of a crowd. If they laugh at you, you’re still young. If they run to you concerned, you’re getting old.

This is a voting community. Please give your opinions on if it's wise or unwise. Reasons behind it are welcome.

Is it:

“Mmm no very unwise”

or

“Mmm very wise”

What if a football is involved?

I think it still works. If you're playing football and the whole crowd gasps when you are tackled, you might want to retire.

Joe Montana is eating out with his family in San Francisco. He's wearing a sling from a game day injury.

Waitress: How did you hurt your arm?

Montana: Accident playing football. :)

Waitress: Aren't you a little old to be playing football?

Mmm no very unwise

Someone else observes that this says more about the crowd. I agree with this. What makes this unwise is that the observation is a shallow one, only "correct" with substandard consideration.

If you shit yourself in a crowd it’s similar.
