80-Year Old Man with 99-Year Old Father Wins Free Oysters

This story takes a bit of explaining.

Wintzell's Oyster House in downtown Mobile, Alabama is a local icon of fine Gulf coast cuisine. It has long had a sign offering free oysters to any man who is 80 years old if that man is accompanied by his father.

Fox 10 News reports that Jimmy Rush, 80, became the first person to secure this prized dinner when he walked into the restaurant with his father, Jim Rush, who is 99 years old.

Father and son began eating at this restaurant in 1972. They decided that, one day, they would dine for free when the son was old enough.
