    You know, Max Schmeling was supposed to be on a plane but for some reason he sold his ticket at the last minute. The plane crashed, killing everyone aboard. Schmeling was about 30 years old at the time. He ended up living to be 99 years old.

    I think Mike Tyson will live to be 109 years old.

    To me, living that old would be a Greenmile nightmare.

    There was a friend of my family who lived to be 108 years old. Her name was Mary Jane Hopkins. She was born in the year 1887.

    Wasn't Tony Tucker supposed to be travelling too?

    It had a profound psychological effect on him. Survivor's guilt.

    A back handed compliment if ever there was one.
