Clint. Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood was born May 31st, 1930.
Nineteen.... THIRTY. It is 2009. That makes a man coming right up on 80 years old. I guess I wasn't off by THAT much, but I really thought he was in his early 70's rather than later.
My theory on age: When you are young, it matters, and when you are old, it matters. 10 vs 20: big difference. 20 vs. 30, the gap is getting smaller. 30 vs 40, 40 vs 50, no major gap to speak of. 60 vs 70? 70 vs. 80.... the gap is widening again.
Not as eloquently put as I wished, but you get the idea.
I have seen 80 year olds... Clint Eastwood doesn't fit my paradigm. Perhaps I need a new one!

Hahaha the comic is a "typical example" of the word paradigm. Wait a minute...what does it mean? "shark bite"
I once black balled a person from a job opening by revealing his chronic misuse of the word paradigm. In hindsight it was very petty of me, although the applicant was indeed a complete phony.
