If turning 100 doesn't win you the right to celebrate with busty waitresses in tight clothes, Iowa resident John Persinger can't imagine what does.
The centenarian rang in his entry into the triple digits at Hooters on Wednesday, according to a report by The Des Moines Register. His late wife Vi wouldn't have objected, since she was a regular with him at Hooters, the infamous chain known for the cleavage it serves up with beer and buffalo wings.
The Register notes that Persinger is one of only a few thousand American men that are 100 or older.
"I don't know how I did it," Persinger told the newspaper. "Good living, I guess. A lot of good food. Steaks, fried potatoes."

John Persinger: “I’ve died and gone to Heaven!”
“I don’t know how I did it,” Persinger told the newspaper. “Good living, I guess. A lot of good food. Steaks, fried potatoes.”
Ha! My favorite line.... makes me feel sorry for people that eat grass and twigs (health food).
I can remember my grandmother at 91 years old. She would eat a fatback sandwich and a glass of buttermilk with a dip of snuff in her mouth. Lived a good life.....
that’s friggin awesome! 100 years old and still wants busty waitresses and wings.
“”””that’s friggin awesome! 100 years old and still wants busty waitresses and wings.”””””
Thats WHY he’s 100 years old.
Yep. I have never once gone into a Hooter's for the food.....they have buffalo wings?
dang! last birthday i got plenty of alcohol, but i forgot the busty waitresses part.
“...makes me feel sorry for people that eat grass and twigs...” And die young anyway...
Yep...and they are not very good ones either.
For me, its a good place to watch a race or stop for a cold beer on a bike ride.
But for food....nah, it ain’t cutting it. My wife likes the wings but I don’t care for them.
Seems all the (very) old timers just eat what they want. My grammy passed at 98 and I can’t remember her ever eating a vegetable.
...nah, that was last night.
Mine too.
She chain-smoked Camel nonfilters and didn’t know how to cook anything other than frying it.
no.. i mean lots..
litre of scotch, litre of wine, 2 cases of ale, case of lager.. and those were just my presents, that doesn’t include what i had at the bar.
i was out looking at vehicles last night, by the time i got home i only had time for three (equivalent to 6 of yours).. and didn’t even get my tune up done (too dark).
Infamous? More “unbiased” (or ignorant) reporting from the MSM.

LOL. A fluff piece from fox and you’re harping on the use of the word ‘infamous’. Take a newsbusters decoder ring out of petty cash for yourself.
A lot of health is simply good genes.

‘Guess I’ll kick-off at the library.
If I’m still oglin’ at 100 I’ll be doing pretty well. The young ladies seem to be enjoying the moment too.
