Exercise is not all it's cracked up to be...
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is
this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it.
Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not
make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of
your car by driving it faster.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat?
Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is
nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to
your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source
of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you
100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop.
Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables.
As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three
categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer
and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of
elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: have a
burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is
one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular
exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is "No Pain-No
Pain!"
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around
the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You
should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have regarding
EXERCISE and EATING RIGHT!!!!!!
**************
A patient in a mental hospital saves another patient from a suicide
attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub. The director of the
hospital reviews the rescuers file and then calls him into his office
to commend him and give him some good news.
"Your records and your heroic behaviour indicate that you're ready to
go home, the director says. I'm only sorry that the man you saved
later killed himself with a rope around the neck." "Oh, he didn't
kill himself," the man replies. "I hung him up to dry."

The Retired General...
A retired General hired a new secretary. She was young, sweet and
polite. One day while taking dictation, she noticed his fly was
open. While leaving the room, she courteously said, "Oh by the way
sir, did you know that your barracks door is open?"
He did not understand her remark, but later on he happened to look
down and saw that his zipper was open. He decided to have some fun
with his new employee. Calling her in, he asked, "By the way Miss
Jones, when you saw my barracks door open, did you also see a soldier
standing at attention?"
The secretary, who was quite witty replied, "Why no sir, but I did
see a little disabled veteran sitting on two duffel bags.
