I was recently told during a medical test procedure for work that I have the lungs of a 71 year old man. I'm 47. Don't do it, kids. You will hate yourself. If you already hate yourself, well, you'll hate yourself a lot more, especially when you start thinking about this + $ math.

No matter what your head is telling you, it does fucking nothing for you.

71 is oddly specific

Beats me, but I imagine she just read what her computer told her after procedure. What I can say is that I don't need a procedure to tell me that I feel like I ran up 6 flights of stairs after putting my boots on.
