Demi - do you understand this joke?
'I resemble that' is a comical mimic of 'I resent that'. It's origin is from television of long ago...

Well..I dont get the joke but I bet it must be funny
"I resent that remark!" is stated as "I resemble that remark!"
It comes from an "accidental word play" that makes whoever says it seem to identify with the remark ( that someone makes about them ) rather than refuting it - and thus - it makes them appear to be an 'idiot'. The joke is made when someone "self-imposes" it upon themselves.
( Something like that --- I hope this makes sense... )
It is a very old joke in the U.S.A. that goes back several decades - even before I was born, I think...
p_rehbein was "playing on the joke" - in reference to your comment:
AS IF he felt insulted by your remark -- because, he is of retirement age. ( in the U.S.A. )
Of course, I am pretty sure he was not really insulted - he was just "being funny"...
( Waiting for a "yes-I-was-really-insulted" comeback now... )
I said that on purpose to pick on people lol.
I'm sorry - I should have given you the full phrase. I wrote it this way because of the way p_rehbein wrote it in his post. The full phrases are:

Thank you Laura-charlotte, I studied pharmacology many years ago. I spent a number of years working in a lab. I have returned to university and I am training to become a Physician Associate. The course is tough but God opened up the opportunity to retrain. I have been blessed with good friends who are very supportive and who are willing to proof read my work.

Bru / bro. actually that's not hard to pronounce I was practising the German word ' big' that's so difficult to pronounce I couldn't get the exact sound its like not gros its between that pronunciation and gous kinda like the english word gauze but it's neither. The word big has one of those special inflections - I think that's what you call it .#tricky#
