Hey, if I had a 500 year old pig, I’d consider it ancient. And of course, it would be kinda mean to eat it at that point.

Back when the Iranians seized the US embassy, Jimmy Carter referred to the restoration of the shah in 1953 as "ancient history."

By that reasoning, the Carter administration is ancient history now.
