'Smoking and drinking can seriously age you too'

Here in Alabama, that's a truism. I see a lot of folks down here who look like a ragged 70, but they could be anywhere from 45+. Me, I smoked two packs a day for thirty years and still can drink most people under the table. Then they don't believe me when I say I'm 57. My misguided youth is all starting to catch up to me, but I'll be a pretty sharp-looking corpse in my box. Unless I apply to get into the veteran's cemetery before I kick. Then they'll just cook me to a turn, pour me in a coffee can, and drop me in a post hole. They'll say a prayer over my marker, mention that I was just a grunt, and give me a three-gun salute with BB rifles. Tell the Lord that Beetle Bailey is on his way.

Yeah, I'm a cynic.
