Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly
used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOOHOO - What a Ride!"

This wonderful quote (and a variant which substitutes 'holy sh*t' for
'woohoo') is attributed to an octogenarian named Mavis Leyrer, of
Seattle:

" Words to live by, by the wonderful Mavis Leyrer of Seattle, age
83... Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a
well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out
shouting '...holy sh$t...what a ride!' "

I always know you have the correct answer!

Well it wasn't me ... the champagne is OK but I prefer raspberries.
