Reply to "Beck Speedster question"

I’m 63, a dude and a non-smoker.  According to my height and weight, Deathclock puts me at their lowest (best) rating.  The only other variable is ‘mode’, which is what I assume describes one’s general outlook on life.  If I select ‘sadistic’, I’m already dead, which tells me an occasional really bad joke doesn’t hurt you.  Same result if I choose ‘pessimistic’, so at least I now have an argument (backed by science) the next time my wife stops me for pointing out the negative in things.

That leaves ‘normal’ and ‘optimistic’.  If I choose normal, I live for 10 more years and expire in early summer at the young age of 73.  If I call myself optimistic, we’ll then I get 17 more glorious years and make it to 90.

Today is going to be a great day.  My dogs will behave on their walks, my back will feel fantastic, and the the lights will all be green.  I will get my chores, exercises and stretches done without incident or distraction, and I will still have plenty of time to play.  And my low BMI arse will be sitting in my new speedster, with my lovely wife sitting in the right seat encouraging me to make some upgrades, wind in her hair and over my scalp, youge smiles on our faces, before the end of February.
