We want to live until 120 Hildy, and hike in the High Sierras until 120, and achieve our final exit with a quick short heart attack, right up there next to the stars, undimmed, shining bright.

I look forward to being shot, at age 100, by a jealous husband! (^;

Not me. I want to die quietly, peacefully, in my sleep... like my grandfather did.

Not, you know, screaming in terror like his passengers...

I know, I know... old joke.

But, I did recently dead-pan that line to a co-worker of mine (not, incidentally, an academically dull girl -- but if she weren't full-blooded Hispanic, I think she shoulda been a blonde)... she looked at me, aghast, and responded sympathetically, "Omigosh... I'm so sorry... Is that really how your grandfather died??"

I just stared at her.

Taking a full... ten... seconds... to catch on to the gag, she then screeched at me "You're AWFUL! Don't DO that to me!!"

Ah, the joys of being a downright cad...
