"Life is like a bottle of fine scotch"

You can make it last longer by not enjoying it.

Discuss.

That's the old joke.

"Doctor, I want to live to be 120. What should I do?"
"No alcohol, no red meat, no sex".
"And if I give up all that I'll live to 120?"
"Maybe not, but it will feel like it."

In Catch 22 Dunbar uses the trick of being bored to make his life seem longer. I don't follow that plan myself. As a consequence I have got to the ripe age of 55 and I have no idea where the time went - certainly not in making money. I only hope the next 55 are as good!

If you use it up all in one night you'll wake up dead.

Waking up wishing I was dead is rather familiar..!

It's all to do with pacing - especially after you get to 50+!

Oh, and belated birthday wishes, Old Man!

Not belated yet but I'll accept the good wishes in advance.

Well, as your getting on a bit I thought it's better I get it in early, just in case.

Nah.
I say grab life by the horns. Live it fully every day. Drink the scotch, because you can rest when you're dead!

My life doesn't *have* horns.

My life doesn't have horns either, but there seems to be cactus everywhere I turn now.

They have meds for that now.

When you've been married as long as we have, meds aren't enough anymore.
