John came from San Francisco to Depoe Bay and asked a native, “Say, is this really a healthful place?”

“It sure is,” the native replied. “When I came here I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed.”

“That’s wonderful!” said John. “How long have you been here?”

“I was born here.”
