He's 43!

Does this look like I have a sixteen year old partner? A German tourist came up to me at the Capitol last week to ask that question. This happened once before but the question came from a Russian tourist which makes me think that that interpretation of the phrase may be a cultural thing. He's 43!

Anyway, after I explained the phrasing of my sign, she told me that in Germany people would not be able to protest inside the building. I told her that if there were a thousand of me, I wouldn't be able to protest here either. She was very nice and I gave her a sticker.
