27. Keep On Keeping On Betty!

She has made us laugh for a long, long time, she is a living legend.

I wish we knew what it is that enables people like her to be mobile and alert at those kind of ages. Even more remarkable was the late Queen Mother in Britain. She died at 101 I believe, but until the last few months she was still bopping around with her daughter - and she smoked heavily and drank a ton.

Part of it of course is they are women. One indisputable advantage we have over men is our longevity.
