Le secret d'une longue vie

The secret to a long life

Un docteur remarque une vieille dame assise devant sa maison.

A doctor notices an old lady sitting in front of her house.

Il se dirige vers elle et lui dit : "Je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de remarquer à quel point vous avez l'air d'être heureuse ! Quel est votre secret ?"

So he walks up to her and says: "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"

"Je fume dix cigares par jour" répond-elle.

"I smoke ten cigars a day", she said.

"A part ça, je bois une bouteille de whisky par jour et je ne mange que de la nourriture de fast-food."

"Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of whiskey every day, and eat only fast food."

"Et je ne fais pas du tout d'exercice."

"And I don't exercise at all."

"C'est absolument fascinant ! Quel âge avez-vous ?" demande le docteur.

"That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?", asks the doctor.

"Quarante-deux ans", répond-elle.

"Forty-two", she replied.
