Ex-President Ford is 91?

[Wcross]

I just saw him with his wife who is 87 on the NBC news. They look incredible for that age! If I look as good as they do at 70 I will be a happy senior citizen. Its amazing to me.

1. Ford despite his stereotypical clumsiness was an athlete

and stayed in shape.

2. I think he's had some "good" plastic surgery (face lift.)

He's always been in very good shape physically.

3. I saw that, too.

They look GREAT! Good for them. :toast:

4. sometimes alcohol is a preservative

I'm amazed he has made it this long. He was a falling-down drunk as president and never to my knowledge acknowledged his obvious alcohol issues, although his wife famously addressed hers. Ford must have some amazing genetic material is all I can figure.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
