Subject: Re: LIFE & Enjoyable(but anti-social) behavior

Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in

and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps 

your behind, he's ripping your ticket and

away you go. As you make each passage from

youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes

you put your arms up and scream, sometimes

you just hang on to that bar in front of

you. But the ride is the thing. I think

the most you can hope for at nthe end of life

is that your hair's messed, you're out of

breath, and you didn't throw up.



       Just ran across this..no author..thought I'd share
