If my body were a car
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 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!  ¶ 3/09/2006 11:14:00 AM
