Getting up there....

The oldest man in the world told the paper he was sorry for being "so old" in a report I read. That is a long time. What do you do when your that old? Do you get super discounts at Mcd's? Do you get free bus fare? do you need to live in a super old persons home? A lot of questions come in to play when you think of someone that old. The oldest know person was Jeanne Calment who new Vincent Vangooh. She lived to be 122yr, 164d. Sarah Knanss was the oldest US citizen at 119y, 97d. Christian Mortensen is the oldest confirmed male at 115 years old. The oldest living male and female know live in Japan. I wonder if eating sushi may have something to do with it? I think that if you live past one hundred you must be doing something right.

Wow, that's way too old. I feel like I'd be so tired by then. Especially when you start outliving your children and possibly grandchildren. That'd be very sad. Cool to say you're that old though!
