Ya gotta wonder about the “mechanics” at age 80.

[Dalberg-Acton]

When a reporter asked how he was able to make love to his 38 year old wife at his advanced age, he said he had one of his sons help him on and then 3 of is sons to take him off.

The reporter asked why it only took one son to put him on, but 3 to take him off, he said “I fight like hell!”

Ya gotta wonder about the “mechanics” at age 80.

Law students learn about the possibility of the "fertile octagenerian" when studying the rule against perpetuities. Sure enough when I did my genealogy, I found one. In his will he left his young son only his bed while leaving the rest of his estate to his nephew. The clear implication of that will was that his nephew was expected to adopt his orphaned young cousin, which appears to have happened. Some who don't want to accept that an ocatagenerian had a healthy child question that interpretation of that will, but its quite clear to me what happened.
