Guess who this is!

Vince went to a new barber the other day and was attended to by a young apprentice who had a huge mop of dark, curly hair so quite a contrast to Vince’s sparse white hair.
They chatted about various things before Vince asked him his age. He was 19. When he learnt that Vince was heading for 79, he nearly fell over. I can only think that he didn’t know too many older people as he said to Vince ‘ Doesn’t it hurt?’ Then he said ‘What about your wife? Is she still alive?’ Perhaps next time he goes there, the young man will be surprised to see he is still alive.
The photo is an AI version of Vince. I think he gave it a few clues and it did the rest.

That is too funny!
It's a good picture of Vince, though. IF I didn't know Vince is losing his hair.

@JudyEv Yes, it has, like with my avatar here. Pretty edited it with AI help.

The AI version makes Vince look quite smart!
May be he would say "Am I not smart enough?"
The Young apprentice surely had a lot of questions.
Not sure if he was delighted to know the facts or simply surprised.
Yet this is life and well, sometimes one comes face to face with such situations.

AI has done a great job of this, even if it has given him a bit more hair.

What about your wife? Is she still alive?’
Lol
Vince has got a veritable mop compared to me Judy
I'm just wondering if the young apprentice barber might have been trying to be sarcastic or something.
I've noticed older people getting a lot of sarcastic back chat from young people of late

A gay young guy used to cut my hair
I was devastated when the hair was no more
Nothing wrong with liking young guys

It's quite flattering, isn't it? He hasn't got quite this much hair in real life.

Yes, I think he doesn't know too many people as old as Vince.

LOL, yeah, well old folks are still doing well to be so old. My brother said that when he was six (the year I was born), he was worried our dad was going to die because he was turning 30. How we learn, huh?!
I like that AI!

I like that version. That young man should have been better educated by his parents that people age but it does not mean they cannot function. I wonder how old his parents are.

That’s such a funny exchange, and I love the idea that the young barber got a gentle reminder that 79 certainly doesn’t mean “ready to fall apart” just yet!

My guess is that he doesn't know too many old people.

It has captured the last few years I guess. It can only work with what you give it.

Funny, because part of me will say that some of the aging factors do hurt somewhat.
But it is so gradual that not necessarily noticeable.
I feel that this young man has lead a very sheltered life not to ever encounter someone of Vince's age.
Of course by the time that I was that age, I had already known older aged people, I volunteered at the hospital on a floor that was set aside for those waiting for a bed to a long term care facility. And my own grandparents were in their 80's and I even know some of their friends, and others in the community on neighbouring farms who were in their 80's as well.

That's a very jolly picture
That hairdresser reminds me of an incident years ago... I was working in the lab and we had a student doing work experience. We were just chatting and he was saying something about his mother (complaining probably ) and I said something similar about mine and he looked taken-aback and said "I didn't know people your age had mothers!" He was about 16 I was about 22

Love the AI picture. The apprentice needs to be exposed to more older people.
