How can you live to age 96 and be that healthy while eating Cheetos?

George Burns was once asked in reference to his being in his 90's yet still drinking, chasing women, and smoking cigars, "What does you doctor say about you doing this."

George Burns responded, "He's dead."

My uncle is 96, he eats lots of sweets, and has dessert every day after his noon meal. More amazingly, he still has all of his own teeth. This will make you shudder, he was driving until last year, and so was my aunt, his 95 year old wife.

It's her snack. Not her staple! :-D But she was smart to remain acclimated to the hot summers. I only run the heat and AC in my place for guests.

It's a Southern thing, you wouldn't understand ...

Well, good genes help. My grandma was born in 1859 had my Dad at 41 in 1900. My Dad smoked since he was 10 and ate whatever he wanted all his life and had me at age 50. He lived to be 98.

My 93 year old Grandfather has been sucking welding fumes, asbestos, smoker (quit), chew tobacco (still occasional), 3 eggs 4 or 5 days a week + lots of meat, 3 fingers of Wild Turkey in the evening, and he still is kicking butt and taking names.

The 87 year old one did 32 years military (Navy and Marines) and came out of a POW camp at 86 pounds and still gets in a round of golf occasionally.

Please God... let me have a good dose of those genes!!!
