Old Geezer or Old Fart?

 
Once I was speaking to a group of students at the orientation and training center at the department of services for the blind in Seattle.  At some point I referred to myself as, "an old Geezer". 
A fellow of about 30 years of age shouted out, "That's degrading the elderly!" 
Yoiks!  It's pretty bad when a feller can't even put himself down without a fight. 
I thanked the young man for his clear insight into who I was not, and decided not to tell him that at times my wife calls me, "you old fart".  But she does it lovingly...I think.
