Get friendly with Dr. Pepper:
Elizabeth Sullivan of Forth Worth, Texas attributes her 104 years of life to having had no fewer than 3 cans of Dr. Pepper a day for the better part of the last century. When asked about the health risk, Sullivan said, "Every doctor that sees me says they’ll kill you, but they die and I don’t, so there must be a mistake somewhere.”
When I got old, I looked upon the young and foolish and smiled.
An assumed humor evolved into stark, life-truth... and one to which that nobody is immune :)
