The staff whipped the marketing department soundly. To show just how the marketing department earns their keep, they posted this memo on the bulletin board after the game:”The Marketing Department is pleased to announce that for the 2000 Softball Season, we came in second place, having lost but one game all year. The Support Department, however, had a rather dismal season, as they won only one game.”10 Best Reasons to Not Exercise1. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 now and we don’t know where she is!2. The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.3. I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven’t lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.4. I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing.5. I don’t exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.6. I like taking long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.7. I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.8. The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.9. If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.10. I don’t jog. It makes the ice jump right out of my whiskey glass.
