Happy Birthday, Tomoji Tanabe!

Introducing my new boyfriend…

Tomoji Tanabe, the world’s oldest man, celebrated his 112th birthday today at his home in Japan with the mayor presenting him a bouquet and a letter of congratulation.

They should have also given him a shirt that says, “I lived to be 112 and all I got was this lousy letter.”

Tomo (Do you think he minds if I call him Tomo? He looks more like a Tomo to me. Certainly not a Tommy.), who was born in 1895, drinks milk, doesn’t smoke, keeps a diary and reads the newspaper daily. The sexy bitch said, “I want to live indefinitely.”

He also claims avoiding alcohol is the secret of his longevity.

Well, I guess that means I’m going to live a very short — but also very happy — life.

This one’s for you, Tomo!

    Wow Candy, good for you!
    Does he have a younger brother?? ;)

  2. Yes, Hiroshi is only 103 — but, I must warn you, a bit of a playboy.

    Those Tanabe brothers left me a WRECK. Couldn’t stop crying for MONTHS.

    In all seriousness though - this is a cute story :)
