More bacon, please

So Gertrude Baines has finally left this earth.

That’s something to take note of, because when she died Friday she was the world’s oldest person.

Gertrude Baines was an astounding 115 years old. She was born in 1894, long before the age of automobiles, television, airplanes, etc.

What’s most amazing about this remarkable woman, however, was her diet.

She loved to eat fried chicken, bacon and ice cream.

You read that right. Not granola, yogurt, tofu and other things that are good for you.

When her doctor last visited her earlier in the week, she complained that her bacon was soggy!

All her life, she chowed down on the “wrong” stuff.

Yet she outlived almost every other human being ever born. And her doctor said that up until the end, “She was in excellent shape. She was mentally alert.”

… Anyone for a triple cheeseburger washed down with a creamy shake?
