"When I was young and in the morning I got up from bed without groans, I was fond of different sports. Provided that there was no command that can be summed up. By the way, my favorite story from the series "When I was young." Once a 90-year-old Max Linder (a silent movie star) saw a young, appetizing Sophie Lauren and exclaimed: "Where are my seventy years!"

And at some point I wanted something That say. I do not remember that. Maybe I wanted to agree, and maybe it is objected, only by opening the mouth, I suddenly realized that I could not say anything. I didn't even immediately reach me, why. It turns out I chuckled. Because it fade not at its usual pace, but tried to catch up with a pensioner with high pressure.
