5. BENDING

The exercise most frequently performed by human beings. We bend over backwards for some people; we bend low fawning over others; we never miss a bender; teachers give benders; we periodically bend to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives; we bend double with pain; we bend low with care; we bend to touch our toes in vain attempt to stave off the middle age spread. In fact we are now beginning to stoop to any lengths.... And I wonder why our forefathers ever bothered to stand up in the first place.
