Sentence: Henry felt as fit as a fiddle, since retiring he had taken up hangliding, white water rafting and book keeping, he felt as young as a kitten.

Her health care provider told her it was a classic case of methuselism.

Etymology: Methuselah - really old fictional character + ise - overused verbotomy suffix thanks for Ozziebob's inspiritional sentence...
