FWIW

Today I saw Willard Scott doing his 'happy birthdays from Smuckers Jelly' schtick. There was a woman on there, 107 years old.

She credited her longevity to one thing: positive attitude.

I'm positive I won't live to 107. I'm fairly certain that I don't want to.

I've got this one guy that comes in twice a week to wash in the self serve that's 94. He washes an old classic car that he bought new in 1948, and a newer car. He has a great attitude, and is always chewing on a big cigar.
My oldest attendant will be 87 in Nov. he's lost a little mojo in the last 14 yrs.
Two of the younger attendants are at 80, and one at 79. I think being a little underweight, good attitude, and the right Dna seem to be the right factors.
I enjoy it when they say they talked to some old guy that's like 65, they never look at themselves as old.

That reminds me of the story of the guy that went into the doctor for a routine physical and when the doctor looked at the guys chart he says This says that your 65 years old, but that can't be right. You don't look a day older than 50.

It's right the man says. I run 10 miles per day, chase young women and eat anything I want and I don't seem to get any older.

You should see my Dad he continued. He's 87 and still chops wood, mows his own grass and finds time to take the ladies out dancing.

And Grandpa is 106, still drives his own car and is getting married next month to a 29 year old.

Now why would a 106 year old man want to get married? The doctor asked.

Who says he wants to. The man replied.

I told my Dad:' I cant imagine wanting to live past 80.' His reply:'...well, see how you feel at 79, because you may change your mind at that point.'
