Oldest father thanks bananas for virility
April 9, 2010
News World Wide — World news headlines NWW reports that Gerry Burks, who has become Britain’s oldest father at age 74, feels that his astounding virility is thanks to his passion for bananas.
Burks, whose son Ryan was born March 12, said: ‘I eat lots of bananas and always have done – sometimes a couple a day. I don’t eat much salt and have home-cooked food. Maybe that’s what’s kept my body healthy’. ‘I’m so proud. I feel like the luckiest man alive,’ The Sun quoted him as saying. Burks is married to a woman who is nearly 35 years his junior. ‘People might say things about my age, but I look after myself. I’m young at heart, don’t drink or smoke now, and Dawn loves cooking. Her pasta bake keeps me in good shape.
I packed all the bad things up in the mid-1980s when my first marriage broke down,’ he was quoted as saying. Read our latest world news headlines today.
