In the late 1970's Ali continued to make money in prizefighting but he was slowing down physically. It was obvious that the unthinkable was happening to him as it does to all mortals. But wasn't he immortal?
One day a particularly rude journalist started in on him with questions about getting old and slow. Ali remained gracious and tried to politely dance his way around the journalist's unbearable smugness. Then the journalist said "Ali, you appear to have slurred speech."
Ali answered "People 'been whupping me upside the head for twenty five years. How 'bout I punch you in the head once and see how you talkin'."
