Don’t you hate it when one month after you retire you wake up dead? RIP Mr. Rooney.
Ha! Ha! Well, they say, once you retire, you don’t have anything to do and you kinda lose interest in life and just kinda wither away til you pass.
I suppose that should be a lesson to us all: Give up what you love, and soon you won’t have a reason to keep living. This is not the first time I’ve seen this happen.
I heard that the statistic is that you live 6 months, on average, after retirement. My great-grandmother’s second husband (so not my great-grandfather), retired and was driving home from his retirement party and felt sick. He decided to stop by the hospital and get checked over on the way home (this was in rural Ohio, and home was some distance from his work), and it turned out he had terminal cancer. He spent a few days, maybe a week or so, in the hospital and died. He never got to have one day of retirement (well, outside the hospital, dying).
