World's oldest man and last surviving original member of the Royal Air Force dies at 113
Henry Allingham sounds like he was quite a character.
Two quotes I have tremendous respect for:
"I want everyone to know," he told The Associated Press during an interview in November. "They died for us."
Allingham, who was the world's oldest man when he died Saturday at 113, attributed his remarkable longevity to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild
women."

If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

wow, thanks for posting that. I can only imagine the things that man saw in his lifetime.

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin
