George Burns a comedian from another generation once sang a song titled
I wish I was 18 again
At a restaurant in Dallas an old man chimed in,

I heard about a man who always said “This is
good.” to everything that happened to him.
It seems that he went with his king on a hunting trip. He loaded the guns and the king shot them. Evidentially, he loaded one gun wrong and
when it went off it shot the king’s thumb off. Examining the
