I am old!
Three decades, yet!
And ne'er had the company of a fair maiden
not even to hold one's hand!

3 decades ain't old....As I once said to a friend of mine, "Age is in the
mind...And the knees." :-)

Tim et al. Nowadays 30 isn't even middle aged. Just feel sorry for all those
women who have not had the pleasure of your company.

It's a problem I've had for a couple of years - squat down to pick
something up or look at something on the bottom shelf in the store, and
the damned things lock up on me, preventing me from standing back up.
Kinda annoying.

Yes, as long as it isn't construed as sexist. There are probably as many women
looking for a nice and kind man as there are men looking for nice women.

As you get older your chances of finding a *real* maiden get slimmer.
You might have to settle for someone else:

Ain't that the truth....My joints probably have a few stories as well,
though likely not really long stories.

I'm actually having a hard time seeing it in a sexist context. Oh, wait,
I see it now - but the context here isn't talking to a female of the
species, so I think it's probably OK. ;-)

Not really what you're whining about, but:
http://www.ted.com/talks/ray_zahab_treks_to_the_south_pole.html
He says it at the end, but for those too lazy to watch the whole thing,
he was about 40 years old when he did that, and just at around 35 he was
not in great shape, and smoking a pack a day, etc.
So you can change.
But don't listen to those who say "You're still young". That's the
attitude that will ensure you don't change.

According to his web site, he was more like 28 when he quit smoking and
drinking.
Point still applies ;-)

At least, in fairness, I can't say I've found anyone who's been through
the alternative who has expressed a preference for it. ;-)

Yeah, I have as well (and I know one who has been for a short while, at
that). Been a while since I thought about those who have been in a hurry
for it.

Perhaps he meant:
"44 here, and I can't say I've never had the company of a fair maiden,
neither."
