I've "borrowed" that from a guy at the office before. It does a good job.
One of my favorite "age" quotes was from an oldster, Ronald Reagan, when he debated Walter Mondale in 1984. When the issue of age came up he said:
"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponents youth and inexperience".
