Rudy And Henry: Octogenarians On A Park Bench

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Rudy, what have you got?"

"I've got nothing, Henry."

"Me, I got my health."

"Where'd you get it?"

"I got it in a Ziploc bag."

"You got it with you?"

"Hell no, I gotta keep it

in the refrigerator."

"Why do you keep it there?"

"Because that is the law."

"I never heard of such a law."

"Of course, you haven't:

I created that law!"

"But you aren't a lawyer."

"Neither am I a doctor but

I create my own laws to live by

and I decide what meds I need

to keep healthy."

"What meds do you take?"

"Absolutely none except for

an occasional aspirin and

a lot of Vicks Vap-o-Rub."

"Most people take their health

with them, wherever they go.

They don't leave their health

in the refrigerator or anywhere else."

"I refuse to take my health with me!
 

 "Tell me why, Henry."

"If I had my health with me,

I'd always think about it.

Then I'd always find something

wrong with it and spend half my time

with doctors and the other half,

being doped up."

"Henry, can you spare me

one of those Ziploc bags?"

"Sure thing, Rudy.

What color zipper do you want?"

"Brown, to match my eyes."

"Me, I change colors every week?"

"Why?"

"Just to hear my grandchildren say 

Pop-Pop's got a brand new bag."
