The oldest man in Germany, Herman Dornemann, says his daily glass of brew and lack of exercise are what helped him reach his ripe old age of 111.
According to the Deutsche Welle World newspaper, Dornemann has also been known to drink the water used to boil his potatoes ? because that's where the vitamins are.
For the celebration of his birthday, Dornemann just decided to invite a few close friends and family. But his 64-year-old daughter Rita Klein said he's still spry.
"I've never heard him complain. He was always very content," she said. She described her father as a gentleman of the old school, who even at the ripe age of 100 still held the door open for "young ladies in their 70s."
But I dont know about the potato deal
