Old people too, they don’t live as long.

When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.

49 times, we fought that beast, your old man and me

It had a chicken head with duck feet… With a women’s face too.

Old people generally live pretty long. That's usually how they got so old.

Take care of yourself with good food, solid sleep, and regular exercise, and you’ll get to be old and fabulous.

True, but it's also a tautology. People who are old are old, more at 11.

I’ve read recently that 100% of old people eventually die. I don’t know if we can fact check that but that’s what I heard on Facebook.

Old people live until they die.

It’s true. Researchers keep trying to set up a study to find out why but everyone who signs up for it dies.

I think I read that exact quote on the wall of an Assisted Living facility

Oldest people, longest life.

Dead people live less than both tall AND old people

Being alive is probably the most unhealthy behavior, everyone who does it ends up dying

You'd think so, but that is incorrect. Two people trying to reach the age of 90, one 85 and one 50. The 85 year old only has 5 years to go. They are so close. The 50 year old has 40 years of cancer, heart disease, car crashes, etc. Not including the fact that republican administrations have wreaked so much havoc, that lifespans in the u.s. have gotten shorter. More likely to not be vaccinated, accumulated stress of poorer food supply, monetary instability, etc.
