My father once mentioned that more guys drop dead in bed doing extra curricular activities than the media would want to report. Still it remains the way to go I suppose if given a choice.

May even be the original origin of the expression dead weight as this enabling senario has been with mankind for a very long time.

I doubt if at my age I would jump in the sack with a lady thirty five years younger than myself for health reasons. I would hate it to be the reason for her demise.
