The World's Oldest People are so stupid

The World's Oldest People are So Stupid

My friend Diane sent me this:

A Lebanese woman who has documents saying she was born in 1877 -- making her at least 126 years old -- could be the oldest person in the world.

Hamida Musulmani, frail and wrinkled but still working on her family's farm in south Lebanon, showed Reuters this week a document from Lebanon's 1932 census which lists her birth year as 1877.

She feels well, she said, but complained of failing sight.

Local officials said her papers were authentic, although they date from a year when she would already have turned 55.

If the census papers are accurate, Musulmani would now be four years older than the oldest person officially documented -- a Frenchwoman who died seven years ago at the age of 122.

Look. If there's one thing that I can teach you in the course of running my stupid little blog here, it's that if you ever, ever reach the age where you suspect that you might be the world's oldest person...DO NOT GO TO THE MEDIA.

Even if you're not the world's oldest person....it could be curtains for you, friend.

We don't know what...or whom...is killing the world's oldest people. But it does happen. And usually within a fortnight of the initial announcement!

Keep it under your hat, friend! Or you'll never live to see 127!

Diane guesses that good (really) ol' Hamida will be dead by the end of the week.
