What a stupid statement.

Alright, in that case: "I'd love to be so goddamn old that I can barely function by myself, to have more health problems and medications than you could ever imagine, to be in constant pain from arthritis, to wear diapers all the time because I can't control my own bowels, to have it so whenever I miss a step coming down the stairs or slide a little in the shower I break a hip and have to be in a wheelchair. Sounds fantastic!" That smart enough for you?

I'm not saying all people of this age are incapable of caring for themselves, but frankly, most of them are. I have the utmost respect for them, but I don't envy them.

Now THAT is one exciting job. Nothing like tracking the "ultra-old" to get your blood a-rushin'.

The nation's oldest person, a 113-year-old woman who witnessed the aftermath of the great San Francisco earthquake, enjoyed junk food and lived alone until she turned 102, has died

And there you have it. This should teach a valuable lesson to everyone- JUNK FOOD KILLS.

What's the world record? Isn't it around 120? Too bad they couldn't live to bragg about it.

I saw her funeral this morning, the hearse was going 45 in the fast lane with its blinker on. 🙂

Bumped from the....grave? Ok, ok that was really tasteless. I have to say though, that's a really depressing photo in that link.
