So, I'm watching the news a couple of days ago and this "doctor" by the name of Dr. Oz comes on saying that microwave popcorn is bad for you and can shorten your life. This got the old wheels turning in my head.
1. I smoke a pipe (some/many say that shortens life)
2. I sit most of the day. I'm either at my desk, in my car or sitting across from a client far more hours than I'm walking, etc.
3. I do go to the gym 3 mornings per week and work out for about an hour (though I must admit that I missed yesterday because my wife didn't want to go and my pipe and coffee just looked too damned inviting - maybe pipe smoking is bad for my health??)
4. I have a stressful job - at times - that has me dealing with the public and often playing therapist and problem solver for them.
5. I often fall asleep in my recliner and stay there all night with the TV turned on - I wake up frequently during the night to watch whatever is on and/or catch up on the day's workload.
6. I eat fatty foods - love french fries, pork and beef.
7. I'm over weight according the the imperial federal government. (I suppose if I were 40 years younger and a right tackle, I'd be about right. But I'm not.)
8. I often eat dinner at 7pm or later.
9. I wake up before sunrise.
10. I drink 4 cups of coffee each morning and about a shot or 2 or 3 of brandy (or equivalent) each night.
11. Yes, I do eat microwave popcorn on occasion as well as a number of other foods that I'm told "shorten" my life.
So, the way I figure it I'm already dead and don't know it or my original lifespan was supposed to have been well over 200 years. 8O
