[Music]
thanks that helps a lot you think oh the
car and pick up the rest of things so I
can go get your father no sweat I
already took care of it
no sweat huh robots don't sweat I got a
ride home from Luke Perry from our
microchip Department remember good old
Lu from the company picnic yeah I
remember all good old 300 pounds of them
right through his paper plate and broke
a tooth on the table yeah even the ants
ran for their lives well you should see
Oh Lu now honey he's a lean mean hundred
and sixty-five pounds soaking wet yeah
you mean with just one foot on the scale
no really
Lu and his whole family joined a health
club they swim lift weights use those
exercycle machines sounds great huh
personally I prefer the sound of junk
food person between my feet
junk food according to a doctor on
television
junk food contains salt and fats that
pose a serious threat to the
cardiovascular system not to mention
giving you a face full of zits Jamie
she's right
these are really really bad for you dad
really something in a chip my dear no
way Jose
well she's right matter of fact honey I
looked in the mirror today and I I've
really let myself go I mean it's a
problem I have the solution
get a new mirror I do except for the
little spare tire and the little pasta
pouch you really know how to hurt a guy
we're just kidding Ted I wasn't if you
make you feel better why don't you join
one of those health clubs like gluten
you know I've got a better idea I'll get
my own personal exercise coach right
here at home I'll take the same as Jane
Fonda
I meant Vikki all I have to do is let
her watch one of those exercise shows on
TV and she'll be programmed and then
I'll add a few little goodies of my own
wonderful yeah well I'm glad you both
like it because we're all starting first
thing in the morning

Tony honey come on I really feel
strongly about this but I can't do this
without your help okay you've got it
thanks I'll kick you out of bed every
morning so that you can exercise come on
honey I know me and I won't do this
unless you two join in and then don't
you want a healthy husband and a healthy
father what good's a healthy father if
his son doesn't survive well okay we'll
join in I don't need more exercise I'm
in great shape except for the spare tire
and a little pasta patch time to shape

I've lost a couple of pounds in just two
days Vicky weighed me with her computer
yeah maybe I lost some weight to weigh
me Vicky way you
[Laughter]
hey wait - hey great come on Vicki hi
honey what's the matter it's good ol Lou

said what's the matter is he sick he's
real sick he's dead

heart attack yeah honey the old ticker I
gotta tell you Joanie it really shook me
up sorry
sent his wife a sympathy card
yeah poor ol Lou he was eating all the
right things
exercising living clean when the
ambulance carted him away he never
looked better they won't have to touch
him for the funeral
Ted I know you and and you shouldn't
worry about a thing like this you and
Lou are entirely different yeah he was a
year younger and a lot healthier

Good morning
good morning rise and shine time to get
up let's go suckers I must have thrown
my back out jogging yesterday oh honey
every muscle in my aging body eggs no
excuses stop Vicky you programmed me to
do this I changed my mind I don't think
we should jog today shouldn't jog I
think my hearings going you know I mean
why press it we can jog tomorrow or the
next day or the next year you know it's
good to give the body a rest all right
before it rests in peace
Vicky jog into the kitchen start
breakfast okay

already yeah yeah yeah oh yeah and I
think I'll uh take a couple aspirin just
in case in case of what you never know

strange
Joan there's no a misprint I guess we
ran out Joanie
please always keep plenty of medication

alone I think he's cracking up hi honey
hi how'd it go
funerals are so depressing poor good ol
Lu lying there in his coffin in his
seersucker suit he was wearing that
yellow tie with the palm tree painted on
it
I guess his wife was trying to get rid
of it it's just not fair for somebody to
look so good and to be so dead I guess
that's why I mean kind of scary
honey the scary part is everybody at the
funeral said I look so good
you do you look great what's in the bag
oh I just stopped by the drugstore to
pick up a few things I needed some
aspirin and some cough medicine some
inhaler and some eye drops and nose
