** EXCERPT **
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 120-pound World War II veteran and retired diesel mechanic lives alone in a one-bedroom house, according to the Register. His children and grandchildren look in on him often and help him with chores — but mostly he does his own cooking and housework.

Good for him.
Tongue hanging out too!
Forgot the barf alert.
Related to Stephen Hawking? Seems like it runs in the family.
It beats the hell out of sky diving.
""He learned to drive a car when he was 6 and was cruising over to Hooters at 98. He doesn't get behind the wheel anymore.
"The doctor said I shouldn't be driving," he says. "I could drive OK. I never had a wreck, but I didn't say anything."
Never had a wreck, never had major surgery.
When Persinger retired from his job as a diesel mechanic in Rock Island, he went to work part time at Continental Western, fixing and maintaining lawn equipment. He did that until he was 88.
Persinger still plays the harmonica. When it's somebody else's birthday, he picks up the phone and knocks out "Happy Birthday" or "Roll Out the Barrel."
He's into politics. "Oh, God," he says. "George Bush ruined the country."""
Ya, baby.
He’s a 100 and a WWII vet. He could look like the Hunchback for all I care. Good for him!!
I don’t think he can help it.
ROTF!
Exactly.
Reminds me suddenly of Joe Rogan’s bit about Anna Nicole Smith’s husband.
LOL!
He also needs a drool cup.
This is utterly disgusting.
Nah, he was looking like a decrepit old lech on purpose, just for fun. The guy’s got a sense of humor.
It’s just from the hot buffalo wings.
“I don’t think he can help it.”
Lactose intolerance? No that’s not it.
His children and grand children must be so proud.
When my late Father was 95, my son and I took him out for Father’s Day to a local pub for beer and cigars and yes there were scantily clad females waiting on tables. He loved it and said that was the best Father’s day gift he had ever gotten.
To each his own. Personally, I'll be glad if I'm still breathing at 100, no matter how I look.
Nah, he's just saying WAZZUP!
Wonder if he scored.
I wonder if his next trip will be to the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. Talk about dying with a smile on your face!
May he live as long as he wants and die with a Hooter’s girl in one hand and a chicken wing in the other.
Oh, cut an old man some slack. Sheesh.
That's precisely what makes it so disgusting.
An old man drooling after young hotties.
I wouldn't let an older relative make such as arse out of himself. Luckily my older male relatives wouldn't want to look like such a fool.
His children probably have died of old age.
This guy makes me proud to be an Iowan.
