No-one likes to admit how old they're getting, because at heart we're all always 18, right? But this one man simply couldn't believe he was the age he was. In fact, he was so shocked to discover - or, should we say, realise? - that he was 98, he couldn't contain himself from swearing about that that fact. And swearing quite a lot, as it happened. Take a look:
When his son, who was filming the video, initially asked his dad how old he thought he was, the man in question said he thought he was 79. He just simply couldn't believe he was two decades older than that.
After his first guess, he jumps forwards 10 years to 89, and seems utterly bemused that he's still a way off.
"89?!" he says with a mixture of surprise and bemusement. "Higher than that?!"

As he counts year by year through the 90s, the sense of disbelief in his voice grows with each number. And when he finally reaches his actual age of 98, which his son confirms, that's when the potty mouth comes into full play.
"98? Your ass!" he exclaims. "I am not 98 years old." We feel you, mate.
But that's just the start of his foul-mouthed disbelief.
"Holy fuck!" he says. "How did I get so old so fast?" Which, to be fair, is the same question everybody out of their teens ends up asking themselves on a regular basis. And the sad thing is, there's absolutely no comforting answer. You just do.

One minute you wake up in 1919 with the world at your fingertips, the next it's 2018 and - as the man points out - you'll be 100 in the next calendar year. And then a lot of swear words follow.
Imagine what he's seen in that time, though. Born right at the start of the First World War, he lived - and maybe even served - in the second one, and then became witness to the crazy advancement of technology.
Mobile phones and the internet have made the world an entirely different place to when he would have been a kid. We just wonder what the world will be like when we're 98. If, that is, it still exists. We can only hope...
