Insight
I've just (successfully) made a little joke in the office re the fact that I did something in the late 80s and gosh-wasn't-that-a-long-time-ago-aren't-I-incredibly-old-yes-I-understand-that-37-is-still-quite-young*.
It occurs to me that I use this premise quite a bit, and there's a fine line between trotting out a running gag and simply banging on about something.
Please let me know any time you think that's happened. Do I trot or bang?
(*) I actually have a lot of good reasons for doing this. Try being told by your beloved father that he "won't feel old until you leave home" or "it's OK until you turn 40".
