105-year-old virgin says no sex the key to long life
2008-10-12
Clara Meadmore, a retired secretary, who still has her own hair, teeth, and sharp wit, never had time for a family and lived alone until going into care. She said: "I've always had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further than that or marry."

Miss Meadmore, who was born in Glasgow, and lived in Canada and New Zealand, before settling in Cornwall 40 years ago, also added that she had never had any interest in sex. "I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things," she said. "When I was a girl you only had sex with your husband and I never married. I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not heard so I had to learn to stand up for myself and earn my own living.

"Some men don't like that in a woman and before long I was too old to marry anyway."

#6  Guy goes up to a Guru on a mountaintop in India and asks, "What is the secret to a long life?".
Guru looks at him and says... "Do you smoke?"
"Yes, I occasionally have a cigar"
"No more smoking!"
"Ok - I need to quit anyway".
"Do you drink alcoholic drinks?"
"Well.....yes I occasionally have a social drink with the guys."
"No more Drinking!"
"Well... ok, if it would bring a longer life and all I guess that's ok".
"Do you eat meat?"
"Yes. I love an occasional steak!"
"No more meat!"
"Hmm... well that is going to be kind of hard. But if I live a longer life I guess it might be worth it"
The Guru looks him up and down and asks, "Do you have sex?"
"Of course. Me and my wife have an occasional roll in the hay.."
"No more Sex!"
"Well... hmm.... are you sure this will lead to a long life? That is a lot to ask..."

The Guru looks him in the eye and says, "Don't know. But it will seem like an eternity...."

#4  Hey kids, there are 71 more just like her waiting for you in PARADISE! What? You really should have read the small print before you blew yourself. No it is too late to request raisins. Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

#3  This should qualify for some sort of Darwin Award for living to 105 without contributing to the gene pool.

#1  Miss Meadmore has never owned a television.

Quite obviously a lack of nookey had nothing to do whatsoever with her longevity.
