Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 18, 2016

Back in 2007, my maternal grandfather made it to 96.

Because ’e knew how to hoist a pint and hold a cane at the same time………………..

He puts it down to not having died yet.

I’m 58 and I have a couple of friends one is 90 and he gets around like a 60 year old. I’m so jealous. The other is 98 and she keeps on going. I tell her she is 98% trouble and only two more years to be 100% trouble.

nailed it

Andy went to Bert and asked him to what did he attribute his long life. Bert said that he didn’t drink, smoke, or run around with wild women, and today he was celebrating his ninetieth birthday. Andy thought for a moment, and asked “How?”

Age is just a number….Mine is unlisted !

The secret to a long life is, don’t die.

Had one distant member of the family make it to 99. But 100 is elusive.

I’m not old, I’m just chronologically challenged!

My great-grandfather made it to 92.

Want a simple answer? Ask a simple mind.

Hmm, Andy is ageless & Chalkie is cluless! Have a good day Cappers.

I can think of a few.

He’s never been married or had kids. That’s why he’s lived for so long. Less stress you see.

Personally, I would hate to live to be 90 years old. Not in this screwed up world.

We have no idea how old our dad was when he passed on because they had to lie about his age and make him younger than he was to get him on the boat from Europe to Canada. This was after WWI.

My dad lived to be 1 month shy of 100.

@Number Three—-Good one! I almost missed the view out of the center cockpit window.
