I used to think I preferred getting old to the alternative, but now I'm not sure.

Sometimes I think that if I had to choose between an ear of corn or making love to a woman, I'd choose the corn. Not that I wouldn't love to have a final roll in the hay - I am a man yet, and something never die - but the thought of those sweet kernels bursting between my teeth sure sets my mouth to watering.

Sometimes I substitute an apple for the corn.
