Okay.
Ah but...
You are now the saddest man on earth. You have watched your children grow old, ill and die - and all three of your wives. All your friends are dead long before you can celebrate your last birthday and you are too depressed to be bothered anyway. So it's self-fulfilling - on the eve of your 110th to take to your bed and wither away a broken man.
Cheer up! It didn't really happen.
I wish I could run faster than Usain Bolt
after finishing my cigarette and downing a can of strong lager as I wait at the starting blocks.
