That was my answer to your question?

I did that with a pitot tube, took a core sample of my forehead. Guess
what they found?"

Answer: "How old you were?"

Are you thinking of tree rings?

I thought you were asking how naive I was to bang my head like that. AFAIK,
you can't determine age from core samples.

As for your phrasing, I have several in-laws that are Irish and would phrase
the question just that way! (You won't be havin' a drink, will 'ya?)

How old you were?

22. During my second or third flying lesson.



A core sample does not come from the earth's core. It is a sample
obtained by core drilling. You can get a core sample from glaciers, or
even your own skin.

I did that with a pitot tube once; took a core sample of my forehead.

Guess what they found?
