From Pine View Farm

Decline and Fall 2

The other day I went to the doctor for a routine checkup.

As I got on the scale, the nurse, who looked late-twentyish-early-thirtyish, said something like, “You’re awfully spry for such an old geezer.” (Not her exact words, but you catch my meaning, you get my drift.)

I said,

Yes, but I have this picture in my attic . . . .

She had no idea to what I alluded.

    What she said was something like, “You don’t seem to experience the restriction of motion of other persons.”

    I work at it.  I bench my own weight.
