Makes me wish my dad had lived as long as these guys. In lieu of that, here’s a Golden Oldie I remember from a very old joke book that belonged to him (he and that particular book are long gone):
An old man, upon reaching the age of 90, is approached by two ladies from the local temperance society. They ask him to sign a statement attesting that his long life is due to abstention from alcohol. He’s about to sign when the ladies hear a loud racket coming from the next room.
Alarmed, they ask.“What’s all that noise?”
“Oh,” the old man replies, “that’s just my father — must be drunk again.”
Garrison Keillor told a similar story. Except that the man, who was pretty well up there, was at the sawbones for a check-up. The Doc opined that he was in good shape for septagenarian, and then asked how long his Dad had lived.
“Who said Dad was dead?”
“Oh. Well then how long did your grandfather live?”
“Who said HE was dead?”
“Your Grandad is still alive? That’s astonishing. How is he?”
“He’s getting married again this Saturday.”
“That’s really amazing; being that old and wanting to get married.”

Now this is old-style comedy; take something ridiculous and push it even farther.

Pretty good. Reminds me of those old yogurt commercials about a very old man. When a narrator asks a question he says he’ll ask his mom.
