Going slightly off topic here, but this reminds me of a day as SLF in an exit row while flying Delta. Bear in mind that I'm middle aged and balding.
Crew: "Sir, are you over fourteen years old?"
Me: "Seriously?" with a raised eyebrow.
Crew in raised voice so that half the cabin could hear: "Sir, I need you to answer the question or I will have to reseat you. Are you over fourteen years old?"
Me: "Yes, I am in fact almost forty years old."
