Herbert Hamrol (http://www.philly.com/philly/obituaries/20090209_Herbert_Hamrol___S_F__quake_survivor__106 .html)

Herbert Hamrol, 106, who survived San Francisco's Great Earthquake of 1906 and recalled for later generations how his mother carried him to safety that day, has died.

Ya know, living to 106 is a feat in itself....

But this guy??

He smoked cigars into his 90s, and told whoever wanted to know that his secret to a long life was "wild women and good liquor," said Janine Barrett, a manager at Andronico's Market in San Francisco

Now THAT is a WONDERFUL LIFE!!!!!!!
