If you are trying to suppress how visible your emotions are in a discussion, talk in a metered voice to hide vocal cues. This only works for people who haven't recognized the pattern of disguise, pay attention and reverse accordingly.

When I am an old person I will hate the joke where people mistake me for my son or for a much younger age.
Its a mistake that can only be made to an old person so paradoxically, an excessive compliment becomes a condescending barb

Give a collection of "How Things Work" as a birthday present to a father/child and write a note to the father about the incomparable education he would be giving both in education and a connection between each other bonded by this knowledge. These tools of thought might even be passed down to the grandchildren as your child recalls to their children all the things you taught them(although the book did a lot of the heavy lifting.)

My preferred way of lying is to dominate a conversation to keep its topics away from things I want to hide.

The edges of perception. Sci fi concepts
Blind spots in human consciousness.
Light spectrum vision.
Behind us
Where we don't care to look
Eachothers thoughts (can Christopher Nolan do a remake of that Mel Gibson movie?)
Details of memories
The future
One place at a time
One thought at a time
The "laws" or "theories" of the universe
Social structures
Parts vs whole/forest for trees
How Things Work
Chance

How would you shoot your eye out? Wouldn't it go through your head?
When will Kanye return to Chicago with the elixir?
A TV character who's catch phrase is a salutation. The actor hates having to say it because it means that they are rarely in scenes long
What is stage fright in relation to self esteem?
I heard a leaf fall in the woods. I heard a single leaf. I hurt
Edify a jokes audacity

Dorthy Parker quotes "Brevity is the soul of lingerie" "Tell him I was too fucking busy-- or vice versa." “You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.” "Trapped like a trap in a trap" “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” “If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.” "What's the difference between an enzyme and a hormone? A: You can't hear an enzyme." “The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.” “The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tires.” Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne. “I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host.”

Fruitful

If I can be consumed more than I have consumed, I will have led a fruitful life. Money is a reasonably equitable calculator of work, youtube view count of entertainment, attendee's at your funeral of love given

If Paul Simon brought Cecilia up to "his" bedroom where did the guy come from while he was in the bathroom?

Burl Ives taught us that there's more to Christmas decorations then just red and green

You gotta stretch, I do exercises every morning. I start with the tongue (poke tongue in alternating cheeks)

Go to a Todd glass party in the summer with a Christmas tree in a box set it up. Bring in wrapped presents. ask before arriving the names of all the people who will be there, under the guise of being nervous. Make quick sticker labels with peoples names on it.
Gifts can be cheap simple thing that are entertaining in a party atmosphere but not cumbersome to the rest of the party

Nothings cozier than A Christmas tree plus it presents the context of giving and receiving presents.

Keep a Christmas tree in the Todd glass studio filled with presents, maybe there's even one under the tree for you!

My grandfather was always old. I look back now at being a kid when I thought my parents were old but in "reality" my parents were young. Why as young as I am now and I still feel spry! When I was a kid I thought  my grandfather was old. Turns out I was right. He was old when I was born and he will remain old untill the day I die.

the 2nd oldest man on earth. Every time people ask him how he got to be so old he gives a ridiculous response that meanders to an unanswerable conclusion.

To what do you credit your incredible longevity?

"I always used dental floss."

"haha that's great. You kids at home pay close attention ya hear."

"so, seriously how did you get to be so old?"

"I always been a flosser, from day one. they used to laugh at me back when all I had to use was a piece of string I traded with the girl up the street, Claribel, for two blue eggs from our chicken Rosie who laid colored eggs, gods honest truth."

"So, you credit living so long to flossing? Were there any other secrets you might be able to share."

"I would floss every night before I went to bed and every morning when I woke up with that string and this was before floss was invented. people called me foolish. If i had patented the idea when i had it id be a millionaire!"

Is there anything anything more too it than dental floss? You see I'm terrified of dying and you seem to be the most experienced person at not dying so let me know your secrets. Don't keep them from me and all the other young people like a greedy old person. I know you know! Tell me! Tell me how to live longer!"

Jumps over table. Forces 2nd oldest man to plead uncle. (a simple task)

Oldest man pleads for clemency. Gives in on the condition that he will only tell the host and the host can't tell anyone else.
Host gives a big wink to the camera, says ok.

2nd Oldest man asks for a pen and paper. Thank you. Pulls out a decoder ring starts writing. Finishes note, passes the paper and the decoder ring across the table. Host starts to solve

"be sure to floss"
You no good scoundrel!
Hey, look over there.
What?
2nd Oldest man runs off

what if the oldest guy in the world knew the secret to longevity but wouldn't tell anyone. He thinks its funny but everyone else takes it serious.

Is there any non dental floss?

I genuinely asked my 100 year old great grandmother the question "how did you get to be so old?" and she genuinely gave me the answer "dental floss" and I never asked a follow-up question so now that is the answer

In a competition to laugh best
The oldest man in the world dies and the second oldest man in the would laughs last.
Ha ha! Everyone born before me is already dead. I outlasted em all. Ha ha. Hahaha. HAHAHA!!!!

What I want to fix within journalism: exe. interview subject: the oldest man in the world. reporter asked him "how do you get to be so old" he says, "i always use dental floss" and then the reporter moves on. I wanted to ask the question more and deeper every time

Cookie Monster

I came home from the grocery store and want to eat a cookie but there was a homeless guy on the corner and I didn't want to share or appear miserly
