In An Average Lifetime

In a average lifetime, humans usually eat About sixty thousand pounds of food That's equal to the weight of six elephants But the elephants have to be nude Half of all Americans over fifty No longer possess their own choppers Be careful if you get into a fight with one They'll gum you to death right proper World's shortest man was only 21 inches Had to have his tuxedo specially made Wives want more sex reading love stories Husbands have it made in the shade There's lots of howling in India at night Law says you can marry your dog Once the U.S. issued a 5 cent bill Vending machines got all clogged Babies are often dropped on their head More serious than colic by far Males sweat more than ladies when caught With their hands in the cookie jar It has been estimated that at any one time 0.7 % of the world is drunk Actually thought it'd be a whole lot higher My in-law is always drunk as a skunk The average person walks the equivalent Of twice round the world afore they're done No wonder I don't feel like I get enough sleep But I'm probably not the only one!
