> If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it

in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my

paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it.

>

> My fenders are too wide to be considered stylish. They were once as sleek as a

little MG; now they look more like an old Buick.

>

> My seat cushions have split open at the seams. My seats are sagging. Seat

belts? I gave up all belts when Krispy Cremes opened a shop in my neighborhood.!

>

> Air bag's? Forget it. The only bags I have these days are under my eyes. Not

counting the saddlebags, of course.

>

> I have soooooo many miles on my odometer. Sure, I've been many places and seen

many things, but when's the last time an appraiser factored life experiences

against depreciation?

>

> My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up

close.

>

> My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and

bump into things even in the best of weather.

>

> My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my

maximum speed.

>

> My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

>

> But here's the worst of it - almost every time I sneeze, cough or

sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.
