I’ve told this story here before, but it’s been a little while, so here goes:

My Grandfather had a “three pill per day” rule: An aspirin, a multi-vitamin, and an Ex-lax. Only three pills were allowed, SO if he was taking something else temporarily, he would drop the vitamin...but mostly he just refused to take any other drugs.

He told that us he was going to live to 100 “if it killed him” and it did..at 99 years and 9 months. The last couple of months, he was in a nursing facility, and he had us smuggling in aspirin and ex-lax because the nurses wouldn’t get it for him.

He had Grandma on the same “3 pill” thing and she live to 94. I think I will start the aspirin thing tomorrow.

My 15 year old daughter and my wife were taking “one a day” vitamins, labeled “for women” and they were just too big, (horse pill size), so they quit taking them. It was a large bottle of pills and I’m a waste not, want not guy, so I started taking them. My daughter tells me that they will make me grow “man boobs”.
