Arnold Palmer died: It's a shock and a tragedy. Really? He was 87. Why are people surprised when people that old pass away?

No disrespect to Mr. Palmer, but I already thought he was dead.

I don't expect to make it that long, so it would offend me if people weren't surprised if I croaked.

It is what it is

  • Exactly. Plus, he was rich. So he had a better end of life experience than most people will have. I'm not crying at all.

  • My gradma died at 91.  

    People acted shocked and said things to me like, "OMG. I'm so sorry. What happened?!"

    She was so brittle, she broke in half. That's what heppened. Sheesh
