Both gorgeous without a stitch of makeup.

If you know any fuckheads, bastards or bitches (who shall remain nameless), you might want to advise them to lighten up a little… or not — because they’re likely to die sooner than their pleasantly optimistic frenemies.
According to a new Harvard School of Public Health study, cheerfulness may protect against heart problems! I’m sure that looking at a picture of Camilla or the Duchess of Alba also works.
Optimism, satisfaction with life, and general happiness seem to be linked with a reduction in heart and circulatory diseases — regardless of age, socio-economic status, smoking or even body weight. So at least be happy knowing that cunty fuckers will die early!
Please remind all those miserable sonsabitches you know that the disease risk may be as much as 50% lower for cheery sorts.
Sorry, you can’t just be cheerful. You’ve still got to eat right.

Nice landing strip! (I’m sure some of you have heard that before.)

In 1957, Modern Mechanix said that within ten years we’d be driving to work in these.
I guess they meant fedoras.
I’m going to make a prediction. Within 10 years, you’ll drive your iPhone36 to work.
