I forget which comedian made this joke: "I hate it when people excuse a bad picture saying that it was taken when they were younger. Every picture taken of you was taken when you were younger. 'Here's a picture of me when I was older.' Let me see that camera."
You guys nailed it - Mitch's joke was indeed what I was thinking of when I wrote the comment.
"I hate it when people excuse a bad picture"
You just added that part, which has nothing to do with the joke. Interesting.
It's the way that I remember it. Memory is funny. I read that G. K. Chesterton would off-handedly quote lines which he attributed to Shakespeare even though they are nowhere found in Shakespeare, "yet they should have been."
