    But drinking good beer never gets old.
    I bet his elbows are in great shape.

    Chances are that he does something else like working in his garden. That was (and is) very popular amongst the older folks in the family.

    As Chauncey Depew said: “I get my exercise acting as a pallbearer to my friends who exercise.”
    Look him up, he was born in 1834 and died 18 days short of 94 years old in 1928. Not bad for a guy who didn’t exercise!! At one time, the President of the New York Central Railroad.

    And then there was the distinguished physician Dr. Logan Clendening who said: “Faddists are continually proclaiming the value of exercise; four people out of five are more in need of rest than exercise.”

    All of these ideas are great…but I think the best is to be happy and not take everything too seriously, those are both hard to do…But I’ve tried the exercise and even broccoli too…

    Winston Churchill said something like, "Whenever I get the urge to exercise, I just lie down until the urge passes.

    I think you’ve got the right attitude. But spare me the broccoli.

    Wasn’t there a Dean Martin movie line about not exercising because it interfered with the free flow of alcohol in the bloodstream?

    @ Susan Newman

    Did you have a good holiday?

    Bet he never grew broccoli, though …

    One of the Apollo astronauts phrased it like this: “I’ve got a limited number of heartbeats before I die, so I try not to waste too many on exercise.”

    Really? Is there any specific variety? My wife is turning our yard into a micro farm and she loves broccoli, but isn’t certain if it’s worth devoting garden space to it.

    Don’t worry……….be happy.
    Just leave out the broccoli.

    I actually like broccoli. On the other hand, I can’t say the same about green beens.
