How funny, I just got back from the dentist and he and the
dental assistant (I'm sorry, I don't know what the profession is named)
talked about this very subject. He goes to Aruba often, and he was
talking about the beautiful South American women in their bikini bottoms
and she said, how about when they get older, do they keep their figure?
No, absolutely not, he replied. We were laughing, and they still
walk around topless! Same with the older men and their speedos,
you can't even tell they have one on, it's hidden by the belly.
