I gave it up.

Loading ...A businessman was feeling rather ill and went to see the Doctor about it.
“Well, it must be your diet,”, reported the doctor. “what sort of greens do you eat?”
“Well,” the man replies. “I only eat peas. I hate all other green foods”.
“Well man, that’s your problem…legume intolerance. Those peas will be clogging up your system, you’ll have to give them up.”
“But how long? I mean, I really like peas!”
“Forever, I’m afraid,” intoned the doctor.
The man was shocked by this, but vowed to make the break.
Sure enough, his condition improved, and he eventually realized he could never eat a pea again.
One night, years later, we find him talking with his fellows at a boozy convention reception. One of his drinking partners says “Well, actually, I’d love a cigarette, because I haven’t had a smoke in four years…had to give it up”.
“Really,” retorts another, nonplused. “I haven’t had a game of golf in three years. Golf cost me my first marriage.”
Our hero felt the wind quickly going out of his sails. “You call that sacrifice? That’s nothing,” he exclaimed. I haven’t had a pea in six years.”
Aghast, the first man jumps up and screams loud enough for the whole room to hear.
“Quickly! Everyone who can’t swim, grab a table!”
