As John lay sprawled out...
As John lay sprawled out on the sofa watching the football game on TV, those flashbacks of earlier years returned. He was fifty and weighed two hundred and thirty pounds, but back in his college days he had been what the girls called a "hunk." He had weighed in at one hundred ninety-five and was considered an outstanding college tackle. Now look at what the years had done. He no longer had that trim physique, and he couldn't run ten yards without stumbling and falling to the ground. Oh well, that's what happens when you are no longer in training. You just turn to mush.
