To the Editor: Why I Never Get Depressed

Many of you know me. I usually find humor in everything—even my health, which is not the greatest. Does it depress me? Not really.

Why?? I’m a man. And what do you expect from such a simple creature?

My last name stays put.

The garage is all mine.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

I can never get pregnant.

I can wear a white t-shirt to a water park.

I can wear “no” shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell me the truth.

The world is my urinal.

I never drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.

I don’t have to stop and think which way to turn a nut or bolt.

People never stare at my chest when I’m talking to them.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

My underwear is only $8 for a three-pack.

My hair style stays the same for years—maybe decades.

I only have to shave my face.

I can do my nails with a pocket knife.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

Finally, I can Christmas shop for 25 relatives on December 24—in 25 minutes.

No wonder I’m happy!!!
