fun fact

do you ever get so into brushing your teeth that you push up too hard and scratch your cheeck? no? well, i do it quite frequently with my electric toothbrush, usually when i lean over to turn on the faucet. i think it has something to do with my inability to multi-task. i can't do two things at once.

for example, being sick and working out. here's the thing. normally i would be plowing my ass to the gym in a blizzard if i felt it was going to save my life, however, i recently discovered that it's not. if you belong to a new york sports clubs then maybe you know what i'm talking about. they have a "clubcom" channel that plays videos by the great musicians of our time like nickelback and hinder, plus "fun facts." the videos are too loud, so i am deaf three minutes into the workout, but the fun facts are silent, like a well behaved child. one of them says:

"women live an average of 1.3 years longer than women who don't work out."

that's all?!?!! i'm sorry, but in the world that i come from, which is not real, i get six months younger for every six months that i work out, so that by the time i'm 85, i'm 25*. would it kill them to say we live, like seven years longer? it's only a little white lie and then more people will sign up to go to the gym and everyone wins. sometimes honesty destroys me. i mean, what's the point?

*you know i can't do math. we've discussed this before, so why would you ask me to do a really hard equation, especially when i'm sick?!
