Old fogiedom and young whippersnapperdom aren't miles-on-the-body things,
they're all-in-the-mind things. I've been here for 26 years; you're still new. Hence,
I am an old fogy, and you're a young whippersnapper, and that wouldn't change
even if you were 99 and I were 27.

(Hmmm. I know humors. What foods would have been eaten to maintain
brainpower (as we do now for fish, that wonderful brainfood)?)
