Seven thoughts – one for each day of the week.

Number 7: Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 6: Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 5: Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe even years.

Number 4: Health nuts are going to feel stupid one day, lying in the hospitals, dying of nothing.

Number 3: Life is like a jar of Bedekar chilli pickle – what you do today, might burn your rear end tomorrow.

Number 2: In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
