Different Prescriptions

Two surviving World War I veterans, one 105 and the other 109, offer different prescriptions for a long and healthy life:
Bill Stone is 105 and swears by clean living, a contented mind and trust in the Lord. Henry Allingham, on the other hand, attributes his 109 years to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women".
We could wait to see who lives longer, or we could decide 109 is long enough. Hat tip to Andrew Stuttaford at The Corner.
