> When you are 69, does that make you equal to three 23-year-olds?

Wouldn't know, I don't know any 23-year olds that I know of.

> I saw where a lady who was 114 died recently. She lived in three different centuries, including every single minute of the 20th. I think I'd like to live in three different centuries, but the inconvenience of having to live to 167 makes it seem impractical.

Who knows, what with all the medical advances and breakthroughs that have been going on lately.

> I went to an antique car show the other day and one of the cars was a 1934 DeSoto. It was a year younger than me. The first cars I remember as a toddler looked like that. My mother would tell you that I have always been interested in cars. Even when I was two. There were several Model A Fords at the show. They made them from 1928 to 1931 and all of them are older than me. Condition is another matter.

> When my grandfather was my age, he was still a young man. He was 22 when the 20th century began and he lived 97 years. My other grandfather died at 50 in 1925. Guess which one didn't smoke.

I heard that every cigarette you smoke takes an average of seven seconds off of your lifespan. Don't know how they calculated it.

> When I was a kid, I dreaded my birthday because it meant that summer was almost over and school was about to start. That's not a problem anymore.

Same here. My birthday is September 1, the latest possible date that is always before school starts.

> If I was in Congress, I'd introduce a bill making it illegal to count birthdays after you start drawing social security. They aren't good for much after that anyway.

Wouldn't know about that, I'm not even 14.

> Robert Louis Stevenson had a good idea. He met a little girl who was born on Feb. 29. Her birthday came up only on leap year. So he had a legal paper drawn up giving his own birthday to her, so she could have one every year.
