“The first thing I did when I was forty years old, I put handcuffs on and I jumped off Alcatraz prison and swam to San Francisco handcuffed. That made national publicity. Then, there were three or four years where I would do more difficult feats. Another birthday I towed a thousand pound boat across the Golden Gate. On my 65th Birthday I towed 65 boats a mile and a half in Tokyo. On my 70th Birthday I towed 70 boats with 70 people in it with my feet and hands tied a mile and a half in Long Beach.... My next Birthday I will be 93. I'm gonna tow my wife across the bathtub.” PeopleYearsFirstsLongMadeHandsThreeNextDifficultHalfFourWifeFeetThousandPrisonMy WifeMilesGoldenBoatBeachFortyPoundsGatesFour YearsTiedSan FranciscoPublicityFeatsTokyoBathtubsHandcuffsTowHands TiedForty Years OldLong BeachAlcatraz Author:Jack LaLanne
