snipped from wikipedia:
Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist, actor and media personality. After serving in the United States Air Force, he began his rise to fame as a martial artist and has since founded his own school, Chun Kuk Do.
He joined the United States Air Force as an Air Policeman (AP) in 1958 and was sent to Osan Air Base, South Korea. It was there that Norris acquired the nickname Chuck and began his training in Tang Soo Do (tangsudo), an interest that led to black belts in that art and the founding of the Chun Kuk Do ("Universal Way") form. He created the education associations United Fighting Arts Federation and "KickStart" (formerly "Kick Drugs Out of America"), a middle school and high school–based program intended to give at-risk children a focus point in life through the martial arts.
In 1969, he won Karate's triple crown for the most tournament wins of the year, and the Fighter of the Year award by Black Belt Magazine.....Norris has received a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from the Machado family.
Now I just have to hope he doesn't track me down and roundhouse me for mentioning his age

My wife believes - she just told me (not in any specific order); "clean living, good food, good loving/sex, commitment to your partner, mental and physical discipline, and regular use of a Total Gym (which Chuck heavily endorses)," is key to living a long & healthy life (even though she younger than I am).

Well, he was a dog handler, if that unharshes your mellow some.
BTW, Johnny Cash (whadya think "I Walk the Line" is about?) was also a Sky Cop, as was George Carlin.

I don't think I'd dare to kick CN, even if he is 70... You go first and I'll watch from a safe distance.
