Beauty Sleep

Ben Gordon had turned one hundred and fifty and the cable networks had decided to run a story on his one hundred and fiftieth birthday.

He was officially the oldest man in the world.

Family, friends and grand children had gathered.

Lights were on him and Angelica McBurren interviewed him.

"You look so well for you age," she asked. "You look no older than fifty years old. How do you do it?"

"Well they've run tests on me," said Ben. "I like porridge in the morning and a nice lean piece of steak once maybe twice a week." Angelica McBurren nodded. "Plus I like to get my beauty sleep."

Angelica laughed and then looked down at her notes. There were questions on his family and friends and some historic events he had witnessed.

She looked up about to ask the next question but he was fast asleep.

He let out a small snore.
