Great Men: Eddie Murphy, Mutton-Eating Centenarian

Unlike Elko County, Idaho native Eddie Murphy, most of us won’t make it to be 105 years old. But if we’re going to take a crack at it, we could do worst than to follow Murphy’s lead:

The secret to his longevity, he said, was no secret at all: “Just hard work — Ranching, mostly.”

“He liked his meat,” said son-in-law Bob.

“I ate a lot of mutton and a lot of beef,” Eddie agreed.

There’s a lot of wisdom stuffed in those too brief word. Namely, kill and eat something with your own hands every day and even death itself will hesitate to visit you.
