I was walking down the road recently...
...and I saw a woman rocking to and fro in a chair on her porch. She had no teeth, wild, grey hair, and her frail hands were shaking. Her face was creviced with deep wrinkles, and her eyes bloodshot and unfocussed. As I passed her she called out to me "young man, take a good look. Since I was 15 years old I have smoked every day, drunk every day, taken cocaine every day, and consumed all manner of of pills. I can tell you none of its done me any harm, and today is my birthday".
"Happy birthday!", I said, "how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
"28", she replied.
