The world’s oldest man wants to live five more years.
Tomoji Tanabe celebrated his 113th birthday yesterday at his home in southern Japan.
He told reporters he’d like to make it to 118.
He’s an early riser and drinks milk every afternoon.
Tanabe adds he tries to avoid alcohol and doesn’t smoke, either.
But even at 113, he’s not the world’s oldest person.
That honor goes to 115-year-old Edna Parker, who lives in an Indiana nursing home.
