As you Readers can tell, most of our Staff is noted for youthful and resilient outlooks on the world. One exception is our Revered Investment Guru, who has soured from watching Wall Street for too many years. We all know those sports commentators who say a football halfback, for example, is a marvel to be hobbling around the field at, say, the great old age of 32. Well, this week the Staff was hanging out watching the Olympics, and almost lost it at the commentators for the women’s swimming. These babblers carried on about the performance of a lady who had reached the incredible age of 24 and was still tottering around the pool. Please don’t do that, NBC. We understand that medals can’t be awarded to seniors, but we have known some fairly sprightly women who have reached 25.
