How Old, and How Interesting are you Anyway?

"Hello?"
"This is "Express Yourself"....an exclusive XTC Radio Daylight Poll, and the question for today is, " How interesting are you, on a scale of one to ten?"

"Is that a trick question?"

" No, it is a serious question, this is a real XTC poll from Rock and Roll 186.9 FM on your dial, and we're trying to find out how old, and how interesting you are so we can determine if there's any mathematical correlation between a person's age and how interesting they are, so..... how interesting do you think you are?"

"How old are you?"
"We're not allowed to answer questions, we just have to ask them."
