Nine things about getting older!!!

Nine Important Facts to Remember as You Grow Older:


Number 9  -  Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number 8  -  Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7  -  Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6  -  Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart.   If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich, you have a 50% chance of being right...
Number 5  -  Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day.  Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.  
Number 4  -  Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
Number 3  -  All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 2  -  In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1  -  Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers.  What you do today might burn your butt tomorrow.

Love it.  When such discussions, etc. come up I always think of Jim Fixx.  Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

James Fuller "Jim" Fixx (April 23, 1932 – July 20, 1984) was the author of the 1977 best-selling book, The Complete Book of Running. He is credited with helping start America's fitness revolution, popularizing the sport of running and demonstrating the alleged health benefits of regular jogging. Fixx died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age.

 

As for point #5, I like another 'alternate' take on the original:  "Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day.  Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life."
