You know, if you eat right, go to bed early, avoid stress, practice good hygiene and try to travel safely, you die in a nursing home after years of moaning and boredom.If you forget all that shite and merely live as a responsible adult, doing what you please, you may die a few years earlier and miss all that “fun.”

The fellow apparently tried to catch up too quickly. If one wants to live free of cautions, one should start small and early. It takes practice, and you recover quicker when younger. Carpe diem… https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/47188-life-should-not-be-a-journey-to-the-grave-with
Yup, it gets us every time. We toe the line, obey the rules while others around us do whatever they want and get away with it. Let us roll through one stinking stop sign and POW! Sheesh!
wiley did a better one a few years ago of a man in a swim suit, skis a rubber floaty and party hat at the pearly gates with a sign hung on it saying “I’ll be back as soon as i can stop laughing”
According to an unknown writer: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride! That definitely would be one way to be remembered.
“Don’t go swimming for 90/60/30 minutes after you eat” is a myth. It was first published in 1908 Boy Scout manual but no source for that has been found. There is no evidence that swimming has any different affect on a full stomach than any other form of exercise. Of course, it’s not good practice to stuff yourself and then run or swim or play football – your digestive system can only do so much when the rest of your body is super active. Here’s hoping we all can get back to the pools, tracks, gyms, and ball fields soon!
Isn’t it funny that in our elementary school classrooms, our teachers preached safety, such as not running with scissors, yet in the back of the room there was a giant guillotine (a.k.a paper cutter) which you could practically decapitate a classmate.
This one first came out on June 13, 1997… it on my birthday, reflected me perfectly, and has been on my refrigerator ever since to remind me to play a little more…

It’s better to burn out, than fade away. At the same time, there’s no profit in stupidity. Gotta find that balance between the two.

When I get there, St. Peter’s going to ask, “You look terrible. What the hell happened to you!” I’ll respond, “Yeah, but it was one hell of a ride!”
As I look back on my life now, I have no regrets. I’ve made my share of mistakes, but I am still having fun.

I used to go running with scissors, but they could never keep up. So I started running with hedge clippers instead.
