A six-panel comic. A young man visits his very old great-grandfather. The young man says he thinks about girls all the time and asks how grandpa ever focuses. Grandpa says when you get as old as he is, you don't think about sex much. Asked why not, grandpa explains that in his age bracket there are six women for every man -- 'Six!' -- so he doesn't think about sex for the same reason you don't think about air: 'Because I'm gettin' it all day long!' He crows triumphantly, 'Rooster in the henhouse, baby! Cockadoodle-doo!' Later, a woman asks the young man how his visit with grandpa went; he asks if grandpa is getting senile. She says she doesn't think so -- why? He replies, 'Then I want to start eating a lot healthier' -- meaning he wants to live long enough to reach that age ratio. Votey: A hand-lettered sign reading 'Free donuts! Men Only' stands over an open box of donuts -- a lure exploiting men who, per the comic, want to live longer.
