I don't know, I'm 45 and 61 seems like an ok age to call someone "an old guy".  My teenagers think I'm old, and compared to them, I am.

Wait till you yourself are 61, then you will realize how NOT old you are. ☺

I am also 62 and I do not see myself as old.

I suspect you are more mobile than me.  I feel both young in mind (still curious, still want to try new things, still want to learn), but old as in tired of the fight in body.  I don’t see most other 60 year olds as old…it is how their body moves mostly.

It wasn’t my kind of joke. I would have found it more assuming if you had somehow made it about an old guy confusing Ludacris the rapper as the word “ludicrous” rather than confusing the word with the rapper as it doesn’t work with the context and it just implies you are ignorant not to know the original word or actual spelling of his name.  And what really made it a nonjoke for me is he spells his name Ludacris (birth name is Christopher according to wiki, but I wonder if it is Cristopher actually, which is an alternative spelling). Who know enough to first assume it was his name, yet not know how to spell his name?  Who would go to that misspelling of his name, but be unaware of the source word, “ludicrous”?….maybe that was your actual joke…that you are old yourself because you think yourself all hip by making a joke with a rapper’s name, but don’t actually know how he spells his name.  It is the only version that makes sense. 
 

You need to work on your material.

Well dang! You sucked all the funny out of that. I was laughing, but! A lot of the time I’m the only one laughing at my jokes. 😭

I have a feeling that @Mike Drop is not 10 years old.

Me too.  That was an example which I apparently didn't make obvious.  Apologies.  He may be 20, 30, or 40 though.  62 could easily seem old to those ages.  It does to me.   I'm sure my perspective will change as I age.  It has thus far.   I remember when I thought 25 was old.

Probably true.  Though sometimes I call myself old now and it doesn't bother me.  Old really is just a perception.  I've met 80 year olds that don't want to be considered old and 60 year olds that are fine if they are.  It's more personal preference than true or false.

I have heard that 60 is the new 40. That hasn't kicked in for me yet.  I still feel 60.
