She might be 70 years old, but comedian Lily Tomlin doesn’t look or joke like your grandma. After all, can you hear your grandma say something like:

“Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.”

“Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.”

“Why isn’t there a special name for the tops of your feet?”
