Good evening my darlings. As we get older the body becomes less tolerant to the kind of things you and I love to do. I myself have a small malady, but it does not prevent me wearing Speedos at the Lido.
We must learn to work our vices to their mutual advantage. For example, did you know that Smoking decreases the circulation of the blood? This would be a potential tragedy if it were not for the fact that alcohol increases the circulation of the blood.
The solution may seem obvious to you, or to quote a very good friend, Simples. Make sure you drink and smoke in balanced quantities for a healty and long life.
So darlings, until the next time when we sit together on the soft Corinthian leather, AdiĆ³s.
