Happy 116th Birthday, Susannah Mushatt Jones!

Ms. Susannah Mushatt Jones is 116 years-old today and the oldest living person in the world. She has the aura of a person who has unlocked the meaning of life. Ms. Jones is the originator of the "treat yourself" philosophy of life. According to her niece Selbra Mushatt, Ms. Jones continues to appreciate fine lingerie and bacon. I am going to make the claim that undergarments exquisitely designed to enhance the beauty of the body and delicious salty meats are the secrets to longevity. This is wild conjecture on my part, but I'll allow it.
As we celebrate Ms. Jones, let us not forget the woman who made this possible. 116 year-old Jeralean Talley of the "don't waste my time" face and "I can smell the stupid on you" wrinkle of the nose died on June 18, ceding her crown of the oldest and the baddest to Ms. Susannah Mushatt Jones.
