I think this joke needs to be updated to 70, 80, 90.
60’s not too old anymore... is it? Right? I am not old guys

Also having consistent ages within the joke would be good.

My sixty three year old FIL just spent a week at my house. He woke up at 5 every morning. Stomped down every stair from the second floor the basement, turned on the basement TV loud enough that he could hear it back on the first floor as he banged every pan in the kitchen looking for the coffee beans we left out for him (and showed him) the night before.
As soon as anyone one else was awake he went back up to his room for a nap. He came back down when brunch was served, then went back downstairs to watch more TV. Sometimes getting the kids to end their show. He only came back up for dinner and didn't talk to anyone that came down to say hi.
After dinner we invited him to join us for a game. And he denied because..."I've spent all day with you people and I need some time to myself."
He's 63. My MIL is 64 and she drank, cooked, cleaned, and partied with the rest of us.
Long story short, some people are very old in their 60s and some aren't.

I agree. In my design agency there are many 60s and even a 77 year old and they look great and energetic. Old age is 85+ unless one has chronic conditions or worse, dementia.

There are two things that happen to you as you get older - one is you lose your memory, I can't remember what the other thing is...

'cordin' to the Bible, you're an elder. That just means you receive honor because you're wise.

Then I'm here to report if I'm wise, then wise is stupid.

😂 Perhaps a sign that your wise. A truly wise person will never claim it, but will let others talk about it. A fool will boast in his non-existent wisdom.

Average lifespan of an American is mid/late seventies. But it's pretty easy to find people much older than that who if you'd guess their age you'd guess 1 or more decades younger.
