BENDING?

The exercise most frequently performed by human beings.
We bend over backwards for some people. We bend low fawning over others. We never miss a bender (a drinking spree); teachers give us benders; we periodically bend to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives; we bend double with pain; we bend low with care; we bend to touch our toes in vain attempt to stave off middle-age spread. In fact we are now beginning to stoop to any lengths. And I am beginning to wonder why our forefathers ever bothered to stand up in the first place.
