[SOC] The Importance of Walking

[Bob Nielsen]

       Walking can add minutes 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.
