Cave People coming our way
A new reality TV show called Cave People will be on our screens next year. Twelve celebrities (their names won’t be revealed before the programme actually starts) will be taken to a place somewhere in the mountains of Wales.
They will live in a cave, with no modern equipment or food at all, although each star will be allowed to take one personal item. The star will be filmed 24 hours a day-hunting for animals in the nearby forest, looking for wood and learning to make fire. Six times a day, there will be clips on TV showing the most interesting scenes. Viewers at home will vote each week for the person who has to leave.
The star who survives all this will pick up 1,000,000 pounds for charity and a recording
contract for a CD.

Woman: Anything else?
Man:Nope, that's all for now. Hey, hon, you know, they're organizing a company basketball team, and I'm thinking about joining. What do you think?
Woman: Humph
Man: "Humph" What do you mean "Humph." I was the star player in high school.
Woman: Yeah, twenty-five years ago. Look, I just don't want you having a heart attack running up and down the court.
Man:So, what are you suggesting? Should I just abandon the idea? I'm not that out of shape.
Woman: Well . . . you ought to at least have a physical before you begin. I mean, it HAS been at least five years since you played at all.
Man:Well, okay, but . . .
Woman: And you need to watch your diet and cut back on the fatty foods, like ice cream. And you should try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Man: Yeah, you're probably right.
Woman: And you should take up a little weight training to strengthen your muscles or perhaps try cycling to build up your cardiovascular system. Oh, and you need to go to bed early instead of watching TV half the night.

Woman: No, I just love you, and I want you to be around for a long, long time.
