The energy crisis...

(Dis)Associated Press(ure) Avondale: Despite early beliefs that local resident mother of five would have more energy if she "just worked out more" preliminary research is showing that exercise is wearing her down. "That doesn't surprise me," says her husband of 14 years, "she's got a habit of swimming upstream against society." Their 12 year old son, added on to that, "and swimming is exercise, too." (Note to reader: This point made by son after 8 years of public schooling, he's showing some signs of improvement after only 4 weeks of home schooling.)
Her husband later continued his meaningless rambles by pointing out the researchers who indicate higher energy levels by exercising haven't ever exercised. "Who the crap in their right mind thinks that if you go running you'll be more invigorated? Have you seen her donkey flop down on the couch after she comes in from a run? All's I know is the dishes don't get done when she goes on a run." Apparently the rest of the children involved enjoyed their father's retort as they danced around the house saying "you're a poet and you didn't know it."
The mother's naturopathaholic sister offered to supply her with some vitamin Biloba Ginkolia, to help the flustered mother remember that she's supposed to do it all adding "It's because she had her gall bladder removed, how else is she supposed to regulate her lymph nose?"
"The researchers" of this exercise/energy claim, were unavailable (taking a nap) to comment as of late afternoon.
