A man was writing a book about elderly people and he went out into his community looking for old people to interview. He saw a man sitting on his porch and thought it was the oldest man he had ever seen, so he stopped to talk to him. He asked about his lifestyle, and the man told him he smoked two packs of cigarettes and drank a bottle of whiskey every day. He ate anything he wanted, and especially liked fried foods.
He said he had never been to a doctor or taken a prescription drug. He did use illegal drugs, especially cocaine and meth. He despised exercise and sat in a recliner chair watching TV all day. He told the man that was remarkable, and asked just how old he was. The man replied 36.
