   You're probably younger than me. You shouldn't worry about these matters   
   for another 30 years. 30 years is a life time. I don't buy my grave lot   
   in my 20s. See, you made me repeat again.   
      
   And when I do that; i.e., repeat myself, I stop that conversation cause   
   it tells me the addressee is impervious to sense itself :)
