New year’s resolutions…In case you want to exercise more in 2022, ponder this:

• The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54.

• The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57.

• The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41.

• The best footballer in the world, Maradona, died at the age of 60.

• James Fuller Fixx, credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularising running, died of a heart attack while jogging at age 52.

However ...

• The Kentucky Fried Chicken inventor died at 94.

• Cigarette maker Charles Winston died at the age of 102.

• The inventor of opium died at the age of 116, not even of natural causes but in an earthquake.

• And, the Hennessey whiskey creator died at 98.

How did smart people come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?

The rabbit is always jumping up and down, but it lives for only two years, and the turtle, that doesn't exercise at all, lives for 400 years.

Oh yes of course, Hugh Hefner died at 90 on the job ( or shortly thereafter)

So in 2022 chill, stay cool, eat, drink and enjoy your life!.
 
Proof that happiness is the way to go regardless.

I will be a happy fellow and even silly at times regardless of whats going on around me, to a certain extent anyway :lol:

Well guess you guest that one wrong LOL
Don't know why you guys call it football anyway. It's kicked maybe once or twice then carried or thrown the rest of the time. Now what you call soccer is all foot handling and kicking or hit with the head. Hence the name Football
If you want to watch a tough game watch Australian Rules Football. No helmet, no shoulder pads just a pair of shorts and a cup and tape your finger together and tape your ears to your head.
 
Football or soccer, who cares?
But Hennessy is not whiskey.

speaking of large wooden spoons...as you might know i belong to a Baptist Church and we still believe that from time to time, you need to apply the board of education to the seat of knowledge, so to speak

so one day one of the families from church had invited us for dinner and it was packed in there
we had a couple different families all together and having a good time, and of course, with only 3 kids we are one of the smaller families there

after dinner, one of the ladies says "its time for icecream"
of course all the little kids flock to the kitchen because who doesnt like icecream?
(actually, i dont, but thats not what this story is about)

so my wife says "ill get it for em" and she goes into the kitchen

now, we had been a little bit crowded in there and there wasnt hardly any spoons left, so she goes through the cutlery drawer and all she can find is a wooden spoon

well, that should do
she takes the wooden spoon out and by the time she got turned around to grab the icecream all those little Baptist children were gone

guess they did not associate a wooden spoon with icecream
 
Dad always wore cowboy boots and ate anything and everything he wanted, smoked from the age of ten up to 50 when he finally quit. Only saw him run one time in my life, behind the barn in some kind of urgent situation (I don't remember the details). He lived to be 86 years old.
