Posture

From the moment you are born, you are told that good posture is important.

Is it true?

YES! All the corrective braces and schooltime yardstick beatings are worth it in the long run. Think about it. Have you ever seen a person all bent and slouchy that is:

- Getting married?

- Taking an Oath of Office?

- Starring in a blockbuster action thriller?

No you have not. and those are some of the main things people want to DO!

Some other things they are left out of:

- Playing a harp on a stage

- Climbing a telephone pole just like the pros do

- Diving into water from heights

- Fencing

- Lording over the grill at family BBQs

- Being the front half of a two-person animal costume at Halloween

- Breakdancing

- Civil War re-enacting

- Being respected by co-workers

- Being waved at by a pretty girl that is hanging out the window of a train

- Working as a mall Santa

- Working as a mall Jesus

- Singing in barber shop quartets

- Being mistaken for celebrities

- Most sex stuff

- Human cannonballing (you won't fit right)

- Parades

This is not to say that you can't do ANYTHING in life if you don't have good posture. But, to be real, your options are pretty much limited to:

- Working at Arby's

- Sitting in the town square playing a flute to charm a snake

- Billiards

and good luck being able to buy/capture a flute or snake, by the way.
