As I am getting on a bit in years and retired a couple of years ago, during my recent medical examination, my doctor asked me about my physical activity level.
So, I described to him what a typical day in my life was like these days…
“Well Doctor, yesterday afternoon, I took a five hour walk, which consisted of about six or seven miles through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through some brambles. I also got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I narrowly avoided standing on a snake. I then climbed several rocky hills. I took a few ‘leaks’ behind some big trees. The mental stress of it all left me shattered. To finish the day, I drank eight beers”.
Truly inspired by my story, the doctor said, “Well Roger, all I can say is you must be one heck of an outdoors man!”
“No”, I replied, “Sad to admit it, but I’m just a terrible golfer”.
