    that sells food, pretty much, from supermarkets to gas
    station c-stores.

    On the other hand, my step dad is 80. Drank very heavily
    for 60 or more of those years and smoked the same.

    He'll outlive me. I made a bet. And I'll win. I just won't
    be able to collect.

    I suppose the Powerbar guy had to sample his stuff too much
    for quality control. Health food will catch up with you.

    You know what they say. If you live too healthy, one day
    you'll feel stupid dying in a hospital of - nothing.

    In his case, he lived healthy and still died. What a slap
    in the face. I'll go get a drink.

    Makes you wonder how many Power Bars he ate and whether it
    was a factor....

    How to tell a Power Bar from a Dog Turd

    Power Bars cost $1.75. Dog turds are free.

    Power Bars have shiny wrappers. Dog turds don't.

    A fly will eat a dog turd. Have you ever seen a fly eat a
    Power Bar?

    Dog Turds get slippery when wet.

    Power Bars come in five delicious (yeah - right!) flavors.
    Dog turds only come in one.

    Dog turds won't damage your lawn mower blade. The jury is
    still out on Power Bars.

    You won't find Power Bars all over your favorite
    hiking trail.

    Dog turds are made of naturally occurring substances.

    Dog turds are biodegradable.

    There was no Dog Turd International Women's Challenge
    this year.

    You don't have to go to Idaho to tour the Dog Turd Factory.

    You can't use a dog turd as an emergency shoe resole.

    Prolly was the 20 hr work days getting his product in every
    store, 20 hrs a day and 7 days a week.

    No, you're thinking of Herbalife, not Metabolife. Here's a
    couple links about the death of the founder of Herbalife, at
    age 44. Those herbs sure did him a lot of good!

  10. Then there was that jogging guru guy...Fix....(jim?)

    heart attack while jogging, IIRC

    it seems like all the old codgers drink, smoke, and eat
    fried baloney sandwiches daily :-p

    Yep, Jim Fixx. But, his family had a long history of heart
    problems, both his father and grandfather dying before the
    age of 45. At least he made it to 52.
