My New Exercise Program


The doctor told me I should start an exercise program. Not wanting to harm this old body, I've devised the following, and hope it works:

Monday

Beat around the bush
Jump to conclusions
Climb the walls
Wade through the morning paper

Tuesday

Drag my heels
Push my luck
Make mountains out of molehills
Hit the nail on the head

Wednesday

Bend over backwards
Jump on the bandwagon
Run around in circles

Thursday

Advise the president on how to run the country
Toot my own horn
Pull out all the stops
Add fuel to the fire

Friday

Open a can of worms
Put my foot in my mouth
Start the ball rolling
Go over the edge

Saturday

Pick up the pieces.
Hug someone and encourage them.

Whew! What a workout! Thank God I get to rest on Sunday.
