Here in Alabama, that's a truism. I see a lot of folks down here who look like a ragged 70, but they could be anywhere from 45+. Me, I smoked two packs a day for thirty years and still can drink most people under the table. Then they don't believe me when I say I'm 57. My misguided youth is all starting to catch up to me, but I'll be a pretty sharp-looking corpse in my box. Unless I apply to get into the veteran's cemetery before I kick. Then they'll just cook me to a turn, pour me in a coffee can, and drop me in a post hole. They'll say a prayer over my marker, mention that I was just a grunt, and give me a three-gun salute with BB rifles. Tell the Lord that Beetle Bailey is on his way.
Yeah, I'm a cynic.
Have your ashes shipped to me. I know a guy with a 4 Pound Whitworth Rifle. He’d be more than happy to send you off in style.
Hell, I’ll light the fuse.
May that day be far off.

The only thing that ages you faster is meth.
Seeing these late 20s and 30s folks looking like 55-65...
