5. Every time someone asks me 'How are you'?

I respond: 'I'm vertical'.

I'm still at the age where things I do today don't hurt until tomorrow. I'd just as soon they hurt a little more as I'm doing them so I don't have to hurt so much the next day.

Not so much about age, but when cashiers ask me did I find everything I was looking for, I tend to answer, 'I wasn't ambitious enough to look for it all today. Maybe I'll come back for the rest later in the week."
