Those who run. Those who say they run. Wait, that's in binary. Too much time thinking about work stuff....

Sloth. Definitely the sloth. I'm also kind of like the Salination Machine, only I do take in fluids...gotta make that sweat somehow. Wink

Combination of Stink Bomber and Salination Machine Dead

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I've gotta go with "salination machine". However, I do drink a lot so it doesn't quite match up.

My DD is SO the stink bomber (and it sucks she runs so much faster than me- so I am always behind her)! I am the sloth.
