For those of us getting on in years and needing a bit of exercise, I
thought I might let you, my friends, in on a little secret I've found
for building my arm and shoulder muscles.  You might wish to adopt this
regimen three days a week or so.

I started by standing outside, behind the house, and with a 5-lb. potato
sack in each hand, extending my arms straight out to my sides and
holding them there as long as I could.

After a few weeks, I moved up to 10-lb. potato sacks, then 50-lb. potato
sacks, and finally 100-lb. potato sacks.

Finally I got to where I could lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand
and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute.

Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution
you not to overdo it at this level.
