Does he look like he exercises kid?

Ah, a bird after my own heart.

Maybe he can exOrcise his weight off.

To exercise is an exercise in futility.

you said it, Ben

As Chauncey M. Depew said, “I get my exercise acting as pallbearer to my friends who exercise”.

Or “I take my only exercise acting as a pallbearer at the funerals of my friends who exercise regularly.” ~ Mark Twain

It would seem that exercising is a lot like going to church in that you have to be quilted into doing both of them. And, if you go to Mass, you get sufficient exercise with all the standing up, sitting down, kneeling, standing up again and the obligatory genuflecting from time to time.

I’d hate to meet that seamstress…

why do all comic characters not excercise?

And it certainly shows, Cosmo.

I get my exercise jumping to conclusions and flying off the handle. Besides, comic characters don’t need to exercise. Look at Jessica Rabbit–she just has to be “drawn that way.”

My idea of exercise is a good brisk sit. ~Phyllis Diller

I am pushing sixty. That is enough exercise for me. ~Mark Twain

I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I’m damned if I’m going to use up mine running up and down a street. ~Neil Armstrong on jogging, in an interview with Walter Cronkite

i walk fairly regularly. those little white balls ain’t gonna hit themselves into the hole.

Eat Right. Exercise. Die Anyway.

but not for long

Any one of us could get hit by a truck tomorrow. I’d rather spend a short life doing things I enjoy than a long one doing things I hate.

I enjoy brisk walks. I hate jogging. You just have to find something you like and do it. Like golf, tennis, squash…

ALGURKA - There’s also: “Throwing your weight around” “Jogging your memory” “Fighting a cold” “Wrestling with a decision” “Flying through your day” and “Running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off”.

“flapping your gums” “Pushing your opinion” “Pulling for your team to win” “Barking up the wrong tree” “Squeezing an answer out of you” “Lifting yourself out by your own bootstraps”

“You and I have a tendency towards corpulence. Corpulence makes a man reasonable, pleasant and phlegmatic. Have you noticed the nastiest of tyrants are invariably thin?”

– Sempronius Gracchus (Charles Laughton) to Lentulus Batiatus (Peter Ustinov) - SPARTACUS
