Young Whipper-Snapper

Doc Grimsby was an old time traveling medicine show man. He used to sell his elixir from the back of a covered wagon at every town where he stopped. Old Pap recollected when he stopped in his town years ago.

"Doc Grimsby got up on the back of his wagon and it didn't take no time at all before he had him a crowd around him! He launched off into his pretty-as-can-be spiel and said that for only a single buck, he'd sell us a potion that would guarentee us a long life! He even said he took it himself, and was living proof of its effects on aging. Fact, he told us that he was 149 years old."

"I smelled a rat, so I asked his assistant if the Doc really was 149. The kid said he couldn't prove it since he'd only been working for the guy barely more than a century!"
