- 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.
