This is a great HBO Documentary... Carl Reiner, the 95-year-old comedian, writer, actor, and director, has a running gag about life as a nonagenarian. “Every morning … I pick up my newspaper, get the obituary section, and see if I’m listed,” he explains. “If I’m not, I have my breakfast.” He stages a version of this routine for the new documentary If You’re Not In the Obit, Eat Breakfast, airing Monday night on HBO, in which Reiner and a handful of other 90-something personalities mull old age, and the possible reasons for their longevity. “Is it luck? Genes? Modern medicine?” he wonders. “Or are we doing something right?” If you get the chance watch. It's really a lovely show... https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/06/if-youre-not-in-the-obit-eat-breakfast-hbo-review/529176/ |

It was I think Red Skelton from whom I first heard that joke. I've no doubt it dates even further back! |

I did a Google search but I cannot find the Cuneiform version but I am sure it exists. Perhaps I need the Adobe Cuneiform Reader? Edited by Trotsky, Jun 12 2017, 12:45 AM.
