Five Years! Answered

_{(Thanks for the patch)}

My dad tries that - he pointed out that, when I turned 1, he was 26 times my age.

By the time I was 25, he was only twice my age.

He's nearly down to a third, now...

Your dad started getting younger? Amazing!

He claims...

Abbott: You're 40 years old, and you're in love with a little girl, say 10 years old. You're four times as old as that girl. You couldn't marry that girl, could you?

Costello: No. ?

Abbott: So you wait 5 years. Now the little girl is 15, and you're 45. You're only three times as old as that girl. So you wait 15 years more. Now the little girl is 30, and you're 60. You're only twice as old as that little girl. ?

Costello: She's catching up. ?

Abbott: Here's the question. How long do you have to wait before you and that little girl are the same age?

Costello: What kind of question is that? That's ridiculous. If I keep waiting for that girl, she'll pass me up. She'll wind up older than I am. Then she'll have to wait for me!

The rest of Kitefamily aren't quite so impressed...
