175 Years Young
Published Jan 01, 1900
Ray had just reached his 175th birthday. Surrounded by reporters, he was asked, "Excuse me, sir, but how did you come to live to be 175?" Ray answered, "It was easy. I just never argue with anyone." The reporter shot back, "That's crazy. It had to be something else - diet, meditation, or 'something.' Just not arguing won't keep you alive for 175 years!" The old fella stared hard at the reporter for several seconds. Then he shrugged. "Hmmm. Maybe you're right."
