    We need to standardise the headline nomenclature from:

    Jimmy Carter turns 100

    to:

    Happy Birthday Jimmy Carter; president turns 100

    I can’t believe he’s still going! They put him in hospice 19 months ago and he’s still ticking! Normally, they kick you out of hospice after a month or so if you haven’t passed away yet, but he’s a former president so I’m sure they’re letting him stay as long as he needs.

      I feel like the reaper is really dragging his feet with this one.

      Grim reaper looking at list in the morning whilst holding skull mug, wearing a death bathrobe, and sporting pink fuzzy slippers

      “Okay let’s just take a- AWWWW MAN. Really? Jimmy Carter? Uuuuugh this is gonna suck so much.”

      Procedes to pull out his iBone15 to call God

      “Hey cough um god I think I got plague so I need to take take the next… 5 years off yea 5 years… No yea I tested positive. Yes I can send you a picture… No no don’t worry I’m way ahead of schedule- get it, ahead? Baha yea I’ll never forget Louis, what a laugh. Oh, no we don’t need to send in a sub… No really… No, ESPECIALLY not Reagan. Sure. Yep I’ll give a call to HR. Thanks. Bet.”

      Hangs up, calls HR

      “Hey Lucifer I need to call out…”
