So many people approach me and ask, ‘How do I stay so young-looking?’ Well, I’ll tell you. I ascribe my handsome visage and fit silhouette to a combination of healthy diet, good hygiene, and strenuous exercise (and denial). I’m going to give you some tips that will help you recover some of the vigor of youth. I’ll even throw in some lifestyle advice. This is what works for me. I can’t guarantee the same results for you, however. I can’t work miracles, Otis. Sorry.

    • Give up on striving for success. It’s tiring, stressful, and ultimately futile. If you settle for mediocrity, you’ll ultimately become more successful than half the people in the world. That’s pretty good.

    • Find a hobby that people don’t consider ‘creepy’ or ‘criminal’ or ‘offensive’.8

    • Avoid lightning, cliffs, whirlpools, quicksand, online scams, and Komodo dragons.

2 Kevin Spacey’s brand Keyser Soze – When the odor is coming from whom you least expect

3 Mind hygiene

4 My own sweat

5 Allow for aftermath.

6 Plucked and baked

7 Personal best is 17 in an hour

8 Stay away from clowning, criming, and harassment.

9 Scout your route to avoid cameras at all costs.

Leave your cell phone at home.

Work alone. Accomplices are loose ends.

Don’t leave any DNA at the scene. They can identify people by fart these days

Don’t leave a signature token or take a trophy. It’s showboating, and it will ultimate be your downfall.
