J. Vernon McGee and Vitamins

J. Vernon McGee once attributed the secret to his longevity and ongoing strength to the fact that he took 12-14 vitamin pills a day. One day he saw a man much older than he, and McGee bragged, “There isn’t a thing I can’t do today that I couldn’t do when I was 16!” The old-timer was astounded, “Really?” “Yes,” McGee replied. “It just shows what a pathetic 16-year-old I was.”
