THE SECRET OF LONGEVITY
As part of a survey, undertaken with the purpose of trying to discover the reasons behind longevity, a scientist interviewed scores of old people.
“What is your secret for long life?” - he asked the first interviewee.
“I drink a big glass of milk three times a day, in the morning, at noon and at night,” - answered the old guy.
“And how old are you?”
“94 years old.”
The scientist thanked him and called in the second man.
“What is your secret?” - he asked again.
“I refrain from consuming any meat, eat only fresh vegetables and fruit.”
“And what is your age?”
“I just celebrated my 90th birthday.”
The scientist continued with his interviews. The third man said he jogs at least three times a day, each time about 5 kilometers and he is 103 years old. The fourth, fifth and sixth each had their own recipes for longevity and each could point to his advanced years as proof that his secret is the most effective. Finally, in came a man, who looked the oldest of the lot. His back was bent, his head trembling; he barely managed to reach the interviewing table. He too was asked:
“What is your secret?”
“I sleep three times a day with an 18 old girl.”
This was a new angle. The scientist continued with his query:
“And how old are you?”
“49 years old,” - replied the patriarch.
