I remember my mom always said that no matter how you feel, getting old beats the alternative. But I can relate to the zipper thing, and the preservatives. Twinkies, a prime example. Put a head of lettuce and a Twinkie on the counter. After only one week, come back. Which is still edible? So, f*** the salad , have a Twinkie.

I also read somewhere that 40 minutes of excersize adds 10seconds to your lifespan. So your 39 minutes and 50 seconds in the hole.
