Life expectancy goes up as you get older.

A 71 year old man has a life expectancy of 13 years.

the number 13 seems to follow cheney. but I would guess the life expectancy of a 71 year old just recieving a heart transplant is likely less than 13 but greater than that of his next hunting partner so it all comes out in the wash. plus socio economic status skews averages

At 71? Life expectancy for men is 75 even for non heart transplant patients.

And Crosby was 54 when he got his liver, not the same age.

The contrast between these two should be abundantly clear:

****** Cheney deserves a new heart because his first one failed even though it was probably never used and should have been in pristine condition, like your grandmothers sofa under the clear vinyl slip-cover.

Conversely, Crosby abused his liver since he was weened off his momma's teet.
54???
He's got bong residue under his fingernails older than 54 years. That's gotta be a joke.
What is he? A Dominican ballplayer??
