YOU DON'T OWN YOUR OWN BODY

Everybody/'s got a body, a mess of flesh and bone. But it's not your own. It's on long or short-term loan. It's got lots of parts, two lungs, one heart, a pump that thump-thump-thumps; a kidney, bladder, other stuff that matters, some to keep you thin, others to make you fat, a nose to sneeze, a mouth to shoot the breeze, plumbing to use as you please.

When a part doesn't perform to satisfaction, take action to get it back on track. If you smoke, booze or lose a limb or two the spare parts store can sell you what you're looking for. It's all held in by skin, wrapped around flesh and bones, nourished by pizza pie and ice cream cones.

Almost forgot about the blood that flows and clots and has the hots when you're touched in crucial spots.
