Medical Advice for Seniors

Dr Gonzalo Montalban writes:

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.

Nice blog - good to find someone as self effacing and ancient as myself.

I remember the the scene in Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy where Marvin had just been ovehauled and told "Good as new - you'll last a lifetime!" and Marvin replied "Oh no! Not another lifetime!"

Glad I was born when I was - I wouldn't want to be born now...

We need old philosopers since they can teach us a thing or two.

Drom. That's Swedish for dream that is. 'Martin Birck war et litet barn som log i sin sang och dromde.'

You need the little circles and squiggles over the vowels really to get the sense.
