Beat Down Senior Stupidity

Everyone needs to do his/her bit and I will certainly cintribute my share of suffering to the cause; as much as possible we must minimize that dreaded stupidity of old people which each senior citizen sees peering out from the mirror more and more audacioucsly each day. Methods? Well, fortunately, I just read about the completion of two studies. In one, lab rats, surely the very archetype of the human race, lab rats were fed 70% of the food which they, the rats, considered necessary to keep body and soul together. After six months of this misery, those rats were killed as were the happy, fat control group rats. Rats autopsies revealed this fact; those starved rats had outstanding kidney, lung, and liver function as well as tippy top brain function that showed none of the awful signs of aging found in the brains of the fat rats. Second study; people who did a sickening amount of exercise each day were found to have splendid brain function as compared with happier people who mostly just sat around watching TV. so, in order to stay smart, people should practically starve themselves as well as force themselves into brutal exercise. After six months of this, the hungry fit elderly person is smarter than the average oldster...and likely to live longer so as to be abole to enjoy even more self abuse.

I may be fat and unexercised but I get the idea. If I want to be sentient versus somnulent, I must get hungry and I must sweat. I'm doin' it. Don't nag. I'm doin' it. For breakfast today I had a cup of water into which was poured a teaspoon of maple syrup and a few tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of hot pepper prior to the whole thing going into the microwave long enough to get good and hot. With that, I ingested two vitamin pills guaranteed to jack up my energy level to previously unimagined levels. And now I'm shutting down the cocmputer in order to go outside and walk my fat chihuahua around the neighborhood.
