I have good news for you. Add one more to that and then you can be free to say literally anything to anyone without repercussion as long as you throw in the mix of words something like "Well I'm 70 and in all my years...........". That seems to be the magic number when people just figure you're old and crazy and they don't want to mess with you. So they just sort of nod their heads or say things like "Excuse me but I have to go now." Which is usually desirable anyway. I've been using that one for a long time now.
