The Importance of Walking

    Walking 20 minutes can add 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.

      I do have flabby thighs,

     but fortunately my stomach covers them.

      The advantage of exercising every day
      is so when you die, they'll say,
      'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

      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.
