Adopting a new political affiliation or religion late in life - changes sometimes attributed to a midlife crisis - may actually be the result of brain deterioration that might lead to dementia.
Oh please! It's more likely they are waking up. I think they are afraid of some 'rats leave the pack in '12.

Older people should simply assume that everyone they talk to is lying. Yeah. It gets harder when you can't find your glasses and can't tell if their lips are moving.

It sounds plausible to me. But I know there are people without dementia that sarcasm flies right past them. Hence, the often needed use of the sarcasm tag.

Neurodegenerative process.
With the occasional alien hand syndrome things and cluster migraines that only subside when my entire body feels sunburned and my feet go numb... I be rocking and rolling large. Been neurodegenerative for forty years now.
These things are not identifiable, categorized, predicted, prevented or treated. They are realities of human form that simply must be accepted.
There are forms of epilepsy that momentarily present, vanish, and defy any detection method.
I know this to be a fact.. After a dozen cats, dozen mri's, few radial skull x rays... and some rather unpleasant things being stuck down my throat.

The public exhibition of dementia is a skill not easily acquired.

Sarcasm - the last refuge of an empty mind.

Sarcasm is necessary to expose hypocrisy.
Those who do not get it are not worth bothering with in any case, but when the get irate.. It helps

Cluelessness, as in an inability to tell when people are lying or using sarcasm.This bodes ill for my wife. I'm not worried though, because she was always like that.
