Take exercise regularly.Be sure to get out of bedAt least once in the course of a day.
Minimize risk.You have taken your lifeTo the most serious casino that there is.Do not make things worse.This is not the time to be experimentingWith a fresh marriage,A new job,Scuba diving,Bungee jumpingOr Russian roulette.And always keep in mind this:A busy road is not a fun park.Look BOTH waysThen look againIn the direction of the prevailing traffic,And only cross when you are ABSOLUTELY SUREThat it is safe.
For the sake of health, underpantsShould be changed at least once in every lunar month.Toenails,If never cut,Will eventually become inconvenient.Your hair, if never washed,Will ultimately become attractive to cockroaches.What else can I tell you?If a stranger approaches you in a darkened cinema,Remember that the usher is your friend.Oh, and ... keep your fingers crossed.
