Jack may have been a juicer salesperson, but he could walk over, open the refrigerator door, use the pot and wipe clean, talk loudly, drink a cup of coffee (hot) and not sling it everywhere, . . .should I go on?? gotta laugh, guys and gals. I'd sell juicers if I could live and function well untioll age 97.
you know, he was quite an icon. He was exercising when nobody else was! Peg |
