Only this way, or not at all;

I once sat down on a wooden bench in the library lobby, waiting for my woman to thumb thru every freaking book they had.

Sat square on wunna the boys

Sprang straight up.......screaming expletives

Wife sez to the librarian 'don't mind him, he's just pissed he has to wait for me'

Anyway, gotta be careful how I sit, let alone cross my legs

It's all in the trousers and skibbies. If they are too tight and you try to cross your legs or even ride a bike ...... it's scream city. There is an advantage to being wun-hung-lo. You can get two fat men on one seat of one sits on the head of the other one but side-by-side? Forget it.

P.S. For those of us with serious retinal problems, this is a pretty good joke.

Is that what that shadow is called, an "eye floater" or is it that chromosome-looking thing that twitches back and forth?
 
A floater usually looks like a fruit fly, just a small speck floating upwards. A floater is not uncommon and we have more as we age. For some of us it’s been a sign of the retina detaching.

I had a laser operation a couple of years ago and it's better now but still shows up from time to time in the left eye.

Well, mine just looks like a short piece of string, maybe 1/4" long. One that looked like that photo might worry me.
I don't know if everyone gets floaters; but most of the people I know do. A couple of them are in their 40's, but most are 60 & older.

It was the only photo I could find in the spur of the moment.
I've had those since I was a teenager. I always assumed it was the ability to focus on a microscopic view of my own eye rather than focus on what is beyond it in the line of sight. It is usually easier to see if you close your eyes and turn your face towards an intense light source.

I was given a laser operation for that other thing ... that transparent shadow that moves across the eye and then seems to rest on the bottom edge of it.

Yeah @Jules that’s just what I mean!

Eye Floaters? I don’t have any idea what you’re all talking about .. I didn’t know that was a thing.
 
I guess I'm agile when I'm dancing. I get compliments, even from the young-uns when I'm on the floor. I don't do a lot of fancy stuff but my movements are fluid and I surprise myself with the way I can move my body. I used those movements to liven up the senior center exercise classes and they loved following along. I remember when I was in my 20's I was dancing in a club, a man came up to me and asked if I was a professional dancer. It surprised me. I know he wasn't using it as a line to hit on me since he was with someone already.

Steps are the structure of any dance but it's the way you get from one to the other that make it or break it. By the way, are you a professional dancer and what do you do in your spare time? Are you free on Saturday? 👨‍🦳

3 years ago I finished the losing the last 50 lb.s on a long term 120 /b. weight loss effort. Was almost 300 lb through the 90s/early 2000s, thought I'd always be that way. At 6 ft I'm 182 lb.s and no longer self conscious about being naked in front of my wife. So, very agile nowadays, I do Yoga, Pilates,Taichi etc. 5 days a week.

Edit: A lady that attends several of our fitness classes can really hold her own, at age 79 she's in better shape than a lot of 40 yr. olds.

Jesus! I am a war veteran and I thought enduring that was a triumph. But that was nothing in comparison to what you've accomplished!

Thank you for your service, I am a war veteran as well. I think the saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is true. Everyone can improve their condition / health by taking small steps, and keeping in mind that fitness is a marathon, not a sprint.
