My Favourite Subject.

Ads.

There’s one on my Flag Counter page. It shows a woman’s face covered in golden gunge, and underneath it says:

53 year old looks 32!
Mom shares her secret to removing 20 years of wrinkles.

OK, let’s suppose for a moment that this isn’t the rubbish we all know it is. Let’s suppose they really have discovered the elixir of youth that continues to elude the scientists. What happens next?

1. That member of the opposite sex you're trying to impress (because sex appeal is usually the reason why people want to look younger) believes you’re 32 and responds accordingly.

2. They get to know you and discover that you’re actually 53.

3. They realise you’re a fraud and walk away.

4. You feel ashamed and rejected and wander off into the cold like the ugly duckling.

That was money well spent, wasn’t it? Best continue to believe it’s the rubbish we all know it is.
