A Bit of humour

This article has been submitted by a GrownUps member. GrownUps accepts no liability for its content and the views and information contained within are not necessarily those of the GrownUps website.

This was printed in our local paper on Friday,gave me a chuckle, hope you all enjoy it to.

To Exercise or not.----

For every km that you jog, you add a minute to your life.

This enables you at age 85yrs, to spend an additional five months in a rest home, at $5000,per month.

My grandmother started walking 5km a day, when she was 60. She is now 97 and we don"t know where she is.

I joined a health club last year, cost me $400, have not lost a pound, apparently you have to show up.

don"t exercise at all, if God had meant us to touch our toes he would have put them further up our body.

Last but not least, I don"t jog-it makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

by Orca 47 15th December 2007 As I never jog does that means I should be dead right now , by my calculation I have used up my sell buy date a few weeks ago, anyhow my knees couldn't take the pounding, the rest home must be some hotshot outfit at $5,000 per month do they have gold plated taps and a personal valet? as I face my unexpected demise, yes I have rechecked my estimation, so I hope God isn't reading this ditty, my ticket to heaven must have fallen of St Peters desk, love your article
