An elderly British woman is crediting a few bad habits for her long life.  The "Daily Telegraph" is reporting that 100-year-old Lorna Gobey says cigarettes and alcohol have helped her live this long.  The Gloucestershire resident has been smoking since 1940, and estimates that she has inhaled more than half a million cigarettes in her life.  Gobey remarks, quote, "I like my smokes, a drop of whiskey and Guinness and I still love to play skittles.  Perhaps it's part of the reason I have lived for so long."  Gobey says her family knows not to ask her to quit, adding, quote, "If they did, I'd put them across my lap and give them a slapped bum."

Go out and have a fun weekend guys!
