Quote by George H. W. Bush

Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They'll tell you.

Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They'll tell you.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that asking someone over the age of 70 how they feel might lead to rather lengthy and detailed responses. It plays on the stereotype that older individuals tend to have more health issues and may use the opportunity to share their aches and pains. Essentially, it cautions against opening a conversation that could potentially go on for quite some time due to the older person's inclination to discuss their physical well-being.
