ya know Glenn, absolutely none of those things apply to me even though I'm 59 years old. I've never eaten at McDonalds no less feed my dog their leftovers. I sleep on a sofa in the living room even though I have a king size bed in one of the bedrooms. I get to sleep at around 2am and am up at 8am and start work at around 10am at the earliest. Not being a drinker doesn't really save me any money but a cheap bottle of wine always makes me feel good, sometime a little wine in the water pipe does wonders.
Beer, as harmless as many think it is has killed more teenagers and older persons then all the drugs put together!
I still like fast cars, fast women, hot wings and long vacations......

Followed by a dose of home shopping shows and/or early 90's sitcoms.) ~ 7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
