some food for thought, via my inbox:
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
funny…and so true!

*giggles* oh that is great!
OMG… I’m American AND British! Does that mean ‘m twice as likely to have a heart attack than most of you????
*”Elizabeth!!! I’m coming, Elizabeth!!!!”*
“Que?”
No, wait…
you should use more olive oil & garlic in your kitchen…
Cute!
it makes me wonder whether stress, tv, and SUVs aren’t involved…
They use a variation on that (can’t remember the exact wording, it’s just much shorter) for recruiting for the language division of our Foreign Service school. Every once in a while academics are amusing on purpose. *giggle*
that’s odd, i always thought speaking english killed OTHER people.
Kind of like in Lynch’s version of Dune…
