Peter lectured, "That's the best part: You can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is heaven." With that, the old man threw down his hat, stomped on it, and shrieked wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"

29. As I was lying around, pondering the problems of the world, I realized that: If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And you tell me to exercise? I don't think so. Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered: I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran. I finally got my head together, and now my body is falling apart. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it ? It was a whole lot easier to get older, than to get wiser. Some days, you're the top dog, some days you're the hydrant; the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. I wish the buck really did stop here, I sure could use a few of them. Kids in the back seat cause accidents. Accidents in the back seat cause kids. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. The world only beats a path to your door when you're in the bathroom. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he'd have put them on my knees. When I'm finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess. It's not hard to meet expenses.... they're everywhere. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter, I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm "here after".

You are 73 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her I even got a membership card, and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club. Oh man, I'm in trouble again and I really don't know what to do since I signed up for five jumps a week" I said. The line went quiet, but her friend picked up the phone and told me she had fainted.
