I like what Economics Professor Walter E. Williams says. Something along the lines of, "Now why would you want to put a perfectly good body in a box and bury it six feet under ground?"

Absolutely. On my long commutes I reason that if I died right now, my surviving family members would enjoy a maximum in their benefits, and not have to take care of me growing old in the process.

One of my favorite jokes about exercise is:

The good news is that exercise really will extend your life. The bad news is that the extra time you live will have been spent exercising.
