As Old As Methuselah

This one I've heard in several references, but I have never had any problem in defining it.  Methuselah is the name of a character in the bible; to be fairly precise, Genesis 5:25-27.  The reference claims he lived to be 969 years old.  Sometimes I think I'd like to have that kind of longevity, then I remember that the character didn't have a perfect life, just a long one.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
