It's a wonder she has lived so long rooting for the SOX. :-)

Now on the other hand, if you melt some Hershey Kisses and drizzle it over some vanilla ice cream, you may live forever. So, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Gertrude Baines was Black and a big Obama supporter.
Wonder if she got her pain pill?

Okay, the last one loved bacon and this one enjoys ice cream. Do I see a pattern here?

Being a Sox fan, Hershey’s Kisses and ice cream could be the key to long life?

Hey, I’m all set!

Why? At her age she'd already seen the Red Sox win 5 World Series!

If the Hershey Company isn’t all over this, like, well, chocolate, their VP of advertising should be fired. They should throw a chocolate and ice cream party in her honor, with a tractor trailer full of free chocolate for her whole town.

Nothing too overwhelming for her, of course, but light up her whole hometown with chocolate and ice cream goodies all around. Turn it into a retrospective festival for chocolate and ice cream, with an old fashioned theme. A few barbershop quartets, and a small gazebo band, maybe some people in turn of the 20th Century costumes.

After my last physical checkup I got the customary “cut out the bourbon and cigars on poker night and sparkin’ the widow lady across the street” lecture.

With all the sarcasm I could muster up, I asked if I followed his advice would I live to be 100?

Holding back laughter he said, “ can’t guarantee it, but it damn sure will seem like it.”

Wouldn’t surprise me if every Yankee fan voted for Schumer and Hillary, frontrunners that they are.
