middle-aged gentlemen

Well, middle-aged anyway. You're too kind, DownTown.

I'm reminded of a sentence from a police report I used as an example in a writing class I taught for law enforcement years ago:

"We observed the gentleman lying in the gutter outside the bar."

The officers were careful not be sexist, though. In another report:

"The first lady came at me with a broken beer bottle. The second lady hit me from behind with a chair."

Did you smell alcohol on their breaths?

It was an 8 o'clock game, which gave them time to down some brewskies beforehand.
