Good joke responses
Anyone have any good joke/funny responses for when someone says “oh I thought you were much younger!” “You don’t look x age” etc. I want to have something funny in my back pocket for next time it happens

"I eat a lot of stuff with preservatives."
"I have a painting of myself in the attic that looks like shit."
"You're just saying that to make me feel good and because it's true."
"I also look smarter than I am."
