"Top Ten Reasons To Do An Ironman"

10) Because you "CAN"!  TRY NOT!
9)   Because your Mom would be proud of you!  Even if the bitch threw you off a cliff!
8)   Because it beats the hell out of working for a living!  By a freakin mile.
7)   Because you will get leaner, taller, smarter, and better tanned!  Well better tanned for sure.
6)   Because you will learn a lot of things, about yourself, your relationships, your world, and people in general!
5)   Because you will forget a lot of things, like who harmed you in the past, how depressed you once were, and how the television works!
4)   Because it beats the hell out of drugs (tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, valium etc.) as an option!  Well maybe alcohol would be a tie.
3)   Because you will learn to love all 4 seasons of our climate equally!  Well maybe almost equally!
2)   Because what the hell else are you gonna do with 700 bucks?!  And no, don't even say it, I'm not gonna give it to you instead.

And the number one reason to do an Ironman?

1) Cause your spouse says you "MAY"!  After all, if you were stupid enought to get so attached to her/him then you best live with the decisions she/he makes.
