Default 82 year old flight attendant won't quit

Per nimue:
>We should all be so lucky. He's spent his life doing what he loves and is
>healthy and hearty enough to keep doing it at 82. I am impressed.


I've got an aunt in Germany. She's over 90 and can't understand why one of her
knees gets sore now when when walks a few miles to the grocery store and back.

Nobody can remember her ever being sick - and she claims she's never been
treated with an antibiotic.

Somebody should be getting these people to donate tissue samples.....

Quite. "Stewardess," on the other hand, has panache.

I always liked the British term "air hostess," particularly. Makes
me think of young gals in skimpy li'l dresses, attending to men's
every need...back when the world worked right.
