Is this a fact, or are they bullshitting the trip report writer?

I think trhe Cave (Charlie lear) and KC (David Dix) and Actrix may have
a valid claim to this title.

There's nothing like a girl with a plunging neckline to keep a man on

Important point: "first" is not the same as "oldest" - you have to still be
alive to claim to be "old"
