The Joy of Walking
(by Adele Hernandez)
Walking can add minutes of your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend
an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $7,000 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 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.
***
Everytime 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
everyday is so that 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.
***
Everytime 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.
