If you live to 100...
What presents do you think you might like for your birthday?
Viagra? New dentures? Suicide Pill? Parachute Jump? Bottle of Whisky and a packet of smokes? Skydiving trip over the grand canyon? If you make it to 100, will you be a vegetable in a wheelchair and diapers, or a spry old goat getting a hole in one before entertaining at the 19th?

A combination of the two. Parachute jump without the parachute.

While living in DC, I was riding the 42 bus home one night--and this adorable, perky old guy got off a couple of stops before me. The bus driver commented to those of us close by the door that he was 98 years old. If asked, I would have guessed he was around 70.
So, making it to age 100 may not be as bad as you think, you age-ist mofos. I'd also guess he wouldn't have turned down a lap dance. |

I hope people will scrape up the money to send me on a trip into space. I can help them save off the round trip fare by staying up there until I expire and again on cremation by being my own reentry vehicle.

I plan to take increasing risks as I age.
50 = ecstasy 60 = acid 70 = cocaine 80 = heroin 90 = crack 100 = dunno what, they haven't invented it yet ...

Some one on one time with Johnny Depp, who will also be 100. He probably won't need the Viagra.
Seriously, something cool, like a space trip, or a ride in an Indy car. I hope to be like the 103 year old woman who came to my mom and dad's anniversary party: she didn't look a day over 80. She was spry and beautiful!

I think the people who make it to 100 tend to be the healthy ones who were spry their whole lives.

I agree. The ones who aren't sitting in their rocking chairs saying "what if?"
Life is short! Grab the GUSTO!

Let's make a pact to come back here on our 100th birthdays and say what we got
For me, that's in 60 years. Let's see, 60 years ago, coast to coast TV was introduced in America. That's still around, so there's hope.....

I'm hoping to have been dead for 38 years by the time my 100th birthday roles around.

If, by some direct intervention from God, I live to be 100 years old, I'm gonna beat-off on the town square, even if I have to take a little blue pill to do it!
