The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"
The Polish version (at least 40 yrs old itself <g>) went like this:
A journalist is interviewing a 100yr old man.
"How can you account for your longevity?" he asks the oldster.
"Well," says the old man "I've always led a virtuous life. I never
drank, I never smoked, have been abstemious as regards sex, and
followed the diet that the doctors recommended. That's what kept me
hale and harty all those years"
As he finishes his answer, the door to the next room bursts open, an
old man appears, reels past the journalist and his subject, mumbles
"gotta puke", and disappears in the direction of the bathroom. Through
the open door, one can hear the sounds of revelry .
"Who was that?" asks the journalist.
"That?" says the man, "that was my father. It's his wedding feast"
"His wedding feast??? How old is he?"
"120"
"120??? Why would he want to get married at his age???"
"He didn't want to; he had to"
