What Age is Elderly?

"Elderly" comes in handy sometimes. When my homeowners insurance tried to cancel my insurance because a branch from a tree sitting on city property just barely hung over my roof, I called the "Urban Forester" (I am NOT making this up....he's called the Urban Forester). He said there was a six month wait list just to have the tree looked at. I went into the elderly (well, technically, I WAS over 60...) widow (true) living on a fixed income (true) schtick and threw myself on their mercy. He was out the next day to trim the branch. I didn't come out.....couldn't find a grey wig or a cane.
 

Nooooooo!!! I get those all the time. What I HATE is getting those plan your funeral now ads in the mail! I thought about mailing them back a box of dog poop, but thought better of it.
 

I read a newspaper account of a man having been mugged and they said "a elderly man....etc". He was 61. I am 78 and I do concede I am elderly.
