The irony of a long life.

Oh, the irony of life. A 104-year-old man. In New York City. Takes pride in his good health. Boasts that he's one of the strongest men alive. Walks 5 miles daily. Only thing is, the other day, he was crossing a street. Got hit by a mini-van. Broke all sorts of bones. Died later in the hospital. And to think. Moments earlier, he was probably the healthiest living 104-year-old on Earth. Really took good care of himself. Until he tried to cross the street. In the wrong place. At the wrong time. --Jim Broede
