Bodies of Water

That's right. We are, on average, 12 gallons water, 6 gallons "other".

Wouldn't gallons be a much better method of classifying our size? "Well, I gained a gallon and a half over the holidays, but I think I can get down to 16 gallons in time for swimsuit season."

But we lose 3 quarts a day, through "perspiration or other means". (For those of you playing along at home, "other means" are number 1 or number 2, mostly number 1.) If you don't replenish, you'll be down to the 6 gallons "other" in a fortnight. So drink up, friend.
