Conversation with the landlord

[sausagetree]

Me: "Eighty isn't terribly old in my family. We usually make it to somewhere between 95 and 100."

Landlord: "Is that right!? You should really count your blessings!"

Me: "I'll count them 'til I'm about 85, then I'll start counting the days."

It was about this time that I remembered that my landlord is 86.

Crap.
