Good Morning, All: 

         Just received this wakeup from an old friend in NS.  Enjoy.

It is well documented that for every minute that you exercise, you add one 
minute to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 
5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month. 
 
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 
years old and we don't know where the hell she is. 
 
The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy 
breathing again. 
 
I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. 
Apparently you have to show up. 
 
I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm 
doing. 
 
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. 
 
I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them. 
 
The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier. 
 
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country. 
 
And last but not least: 
 
 
 
I don't exercise because it makes the ice jump right out of my glass.
