The Importance of Walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.    This enables you at 85 years old    to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing    home at $7000 per month.      My grandpa started walking     five miles a day when he was 60.     Now he's 97 years  old     and we don't know where he is.       I like long walks,     especially when they are taken     by people who annoy me.   The only reason I would take up walking     is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.     I have to walk early in the morning,     before my brain figures out what I'm doing.    I joined a health club last year,     spent about 400 bucks.     Haven't lost a pound.     Apparently you have to go there. Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',     I wash my mouth out with chocolate.    The advantage of exercising every day     is so when you die, they'll say,     'Well, she looks good doesn't she.'    If you are going to try cross-country skiing,   start with a small country.        I know I got a lot of exercise     the last few years,......     just getting over the hill.   We all get heavier as we get older,     because there's a lot more information in our heads.     That's my story and I'm sticking to it.        AND    Every time I start thinking too much      about how I look,     I just find a Happy Hour and by the  time I leave,     I look just fine.       You could run this over to your friends    but, what the heck, just e-mail it to them If you don't forward this to some of your friends within the next 5 minutes your belly button will unscrew and                      your butt will fall off.  Really.... It's true!
