I love his one statement

And he offered this wry advice for living a long life: "Keep living, don’t die.”

lol


I can't imagine living to 100 and then add another 12 years on to it. That is just incredible. I guess I need to start smoking cigars as he smoked 12 a day.

If I am not mistaken, George Burns lived to be 100, and was also a stogie smoker.....
