You can't beat my old World of Warcraft guildies:
Guild leader: and here is our raid leader, Sindre.
Impressionable new recruit: hi!
Me (age 18): hello.
Guild leader: Sindre is in his 40s, but he still finds time to play.
Me: *severe grumble*
Impressionable new recruit: oh. Wow!

Sometimes, this took weeks. Or more often, the much shorter time it'd take for me to burst out laughing.
