Betty White, 89 and still bringing the funny, delivered the Top 10 list on "The Late Show with David Letterman" Monday night (June 13).

Appropriately for someone who's demonstrated such longevity in show business, the topic was "Top 10 Betty White tips for living a long and happy life." It included such wisdom nuggets as "Exercise. Or don't. What the hell do I care?" and "Schedule nightly appointment with Dr. Johnnie Walker."

Our favorite may be No. 4 ("Take some wheatgrass, soy paste and carob, toss in the garbage and cook yourself a big-ass piece of pork"), but in terms of practical advice, it's hard to beat No. 3: "Try not to die."

White -- whose TV Land sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" begins a new season on Wednesday -- presents the full Top 10 list below.
