Farmers look famously young for their age ... put a 30 year old farmer and a 40 year old lawyer in a room together and you might mistake one for the others father.

> Farmers look famously young for their age

I come from a family of farmers. I would not agree with this statement.

I assumed they were being sarcastic, especially as the farmer in the example is 10 years younger.
That line is what made me think they weren’t being sarcastic. I thought they were saying the 10 year age difference would be exaggerated.

Where does this idea come from? Farmers can end up outside all day which can age someone heavily.

I would say that that lawyer was the farmer’s son, of course
Is this missing the /sarcasm?
