1. The statue of John Lennon is between the ones of Groucho Marx and Georgia Engel. (Castro claims he meant to do that.)

   1. I have never appreciated JFK more than I do at this moment.

2. And if you’re not already, you will also soon be older than Elvis at the time of his death.

   1. Someday I hope to be older than Methuselah.

      1. I imagine you probably are already (I mean, what are the odds he was a real guy?)

      2. Not possible. God limited the human lifespan to 120 when Moses died because nobody is allowed to live longer than Moses.

      3. James, even if he is fictional you have to base his age on how old the Book of Genesis is.

         Eh, whut?

      5. If you say that you want to live longer than a fictional character, you determine how long you have to live based on the year the character first appeared. In that way, nobody can outlive a fictional character.

      6. Oh, well fortunately Chris is also a fictional character. I created him as an alter ego.

      7. The state is awesome!

      8. So awesome that you wanna dip your…

         Eh, never mind.

      9. Very very alter, as you can see.

   2. And you’re already older than Mozart, Schubert, or Chopin ever got to be.

      1. Or Sid Vicious, to complete the quartet of great composers.

      2. Damn, I always forget him. He’s like the Zeppo of classical music.

3. I was older than 80% of the 2012 NBA All-Star starters. I was 28 at the time.

4. Welcome to the club…
