Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 17, 2016
Transcript:
Frazz: Whoo. I'm still cooked from yesterday's long run. Mrs. Olsen: You need to quit that tri-ath-a-lon stuff. Frazz: I like a well-earned cooked. Mrs. Olsen: I know someone who knows somebody who knows someone who was running and had a heart attack. Frazz: OoooOKAY. Let's find a newspaper and have a look at the obituaries. A good number will say "died peacefully surround by family". So maybe we should all avoid being around family. Mrs. Olsen: Oh, I do.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits / Open the paper and read the obits / If I’m not there, I know I’m not dead / So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

Yes, Jim Fixx died of heart disease. And there are people who smoke heavily and live a long time. But it’s worthwhile improving your odds. As Damon Runyon said in updating the bible: “The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that’s the way to bet.”

Frazz’ argument doesn’t entirely hold up logically…but, hey, it’s only a comic strip.

Usually if you are surrounded by family, the death has been oncoming and obvious. Not pleasant.

comicsssfanQuit always saying public schools, the private ones are just as bad, but conceal the fact by expelling any who show up their defects. Autodydactism runs the problem of no controls to point out errors.
