I KNEW IF I HUNG IN THERE LONG ENOUGH . . .

. . . someone would say this out loud.  Leave it to Pearl Cantrell from Richland Springs, Texas, who's enjoying life in the fast lane at age 105.  When asked the secret to her longevity, she hesitated not a nanosecond before replying, "I love bacon.  I could eat it for every meal, and I do!"  Well, God bless you, Pearl.  The fine folks at Oscar Mayer even rewarded her meaty loyalty with a ride in the Weinermobile, heaven help us all.  (Nobody asked me, but you'd think that 105 years would earn her at least a lifetime supply of product, wouldn't you?  I mean, how much longer . . . . . no, I won't say it.)  

Miss Pearl, you've got a few years on me, but I for one am going to take your sage advice to heart and make sure I don't let a day pass without a little pig.  I'll keep you posted on my long and happy life.
