THe Servicemans Mantra

Does this sound familiar? LOL


One Sunday I saw an old man sitting on his front step, so I walked up to him and said,

"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret for such a long, happy life?"

"I work hard six days a week, swinging hammers and pipewrenches, twisting pipes, fixing and replacing steam boilers."

"I drink twelve cups of black coffee and smoke ten cigars a day," he said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint."

"Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food."

"On Friday and Saturday nights I play cards and chase women, but can't catch 'em."

"On weekends I pop pills, chase 'em down with old boiler water, and never do any exercise at all."

"That is absolutely amazing!" I told him. Then I asked, "How old are you?"

"Thirty-four," he replied. "This is the only day I aint got nuthin to do."

    age

    Stress is probably our worst enemy, yet we all stress daily about what we eat/drink/smoke and the like. I sometimes think that too much knowledge might be killing us; My grandfather worked with lead and asbestos his whole life and only made it to 102. He just didn't know what was killing him.

    Wasted days

    It's like that old cowboy said: "I spent most of my lifes savings on women, whiskey, and horses. The rest of it I just wasted."
