Yes sky I still do that old man routine often. And get more laughs then ever. I am 90 years old and was born 4/14/12 the same day the titanic sunk. I saw Jack Dempsey Fight and Babe Ruth play baseball. I graduated from high school in 1929 the same year the stock market crashed. Once worked for the Fred Astaire dance studio in 1931 and I invented the dance called the lindy and the first customer that I had with it was Charles A Lindbergh the famous flyer he mastered it so well I named it after him he was a good paying customer. I was drafted in WW11 and was stationed on the uss Indianapolis. We carried the Bomb to Japan and our mission was a top secret mission On the way back we got torpedoed by a jap sub and 1100 men including me went into the water. I was a cook in the galley thats what i did on the boat. Then we all lasted like 5 days and alot of sharks came and feasted on my co navy men. I had some old spice cologne on and then i sprayed myself with that and boy those sharks stayed far away from me. No distress signal was sent so we all drifted in the water for 5 days before a plane spotted us and picked us up. >>>>>>>>>>more later.
