I did not plan to publish anything until 9.00 a.m. ET 10/07/2014.
However, I received an email from my friend in Hollywood (Fl) with the following profound statements (no idea if they are his own):
1. Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
2. Life is sexually transmitted.
3. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
4. 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.
5. Give a person a fish and you feed him a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and he won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
6. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
7. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
8. 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.
9. Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.
The email finished with the following words:
…and as someone
recently said to me:
“Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long”.
I found all statements very interesting and decided to share them with you.
Then I am going to sleep on them and see what I will think of them in the morning.
Please let me know if you disagree with any of the statements above.
I’ve seen 1 and 2 before.
4 is really funny. I wish I had know that when it was still relevant. 🙂
5 is brilliant.
The only one I disagree with is this one:
“Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long”. For some people it may be too long. I was watching my mother getting very frail and caring for her for many years. She wanted to die when she was 93, still well but feeling very tired. She died of dementia at almost 101. Seven years is a very long time. When she lost her marbles was a blessing because she started to live in the moment and didn’t worry about wanting to die anymore.
Which ones do you disagree with?
#4. One sandwich is not enough! 😉
🙂
6. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
^This one made me laugh so, SO hard. I cannot. Stop. Laughing.

This is so funny, and so true. 😀 I like the 5 and 7 especially. Thank you, JF!
You are welcome!
Nobody said anything about #8! I thought that was hilarious! Maybe it’s my age… 🙂
They are all funny. I’m keeping this one for a rainy day…or whenever… 🙂
I am glad you like this post. Best to you!
Ha ha… Does #5 solve problem #4? Helen
Sure!
They are all very funny! Maybe so many of us like #5 because we’ve been lost in the internet for so long and know it is true!
I also laughed pretty hard at #8!

Reblogged this on The Writer's Village and commented:
I found this to be very amusing.
Falling under the category, for me, of never take life or yourself too seriously.
Thank you “Pursuit of Happiness”
Thanks for the reblog. Best to you!
Just wonderful. As long as you are healthy age doesn’t matter at all.
People are often not healthy from their birth. 😉
