What will get you in the end?

[Rico]

I recently received this via e-mail - thought I’d share it with my friends here:

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

Conclusion:
Eat and drink what you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.

Excuse me while I dig out my Spanish book from high school…

Have any tests been run on Japanese-Americans, French-Americans or Italian-Americans? I imagine these tests should also be restricted to those who have learned to speak English.

Hah! I fooled them! I speak Chinese!

(And a little French, too, just to be safe )

It’s those damned REPUBLICANS, foulin’ up the place…

Drain Bead with a strap-on.
Long time dopers will cringe

Getting Beatles songs stuck in my head whenever I read thread titles will get me in the end.

Seriously, though, I’m going to die laughing. Whenever I know I’m in SERIOUS, IMMEDIATE DANGER, I guffaw nervously. Yes, that’s-right-you-heard-right, not a chuckle, more of a guffaw.

That wasn’t Drain Bead, it was her predecessor, and anyway don’t be dredging up painful memories like that - I’m sure the guy would like to forget the whole thing.

Oh, and I figure one of three things will get me in the end:
[ul][li]Diabetes (not yet, but it’s inevitable)[/li][li]Depression from having to give up everything I like to eat because of diabetes[/li]Blowing a blood vessel from reading yet another Pit thread that apparently was written by a functional illiterate.[/ul]
