    To honestly answer your question, it is because of all the junk you put into your body by choice.
    But, my personal thoughts go way beyond just that.
    Ask any guy nowadays about his junk. He'd be looking down, shakin' it all around just to make sure somethin' was movin' around in his pants.  Phew!  I'm glad it's still danglin'.  
    What's up with that?  Who called it "junk" in the first place?  Was that "Kutch?" It sounds like something he would say.
    The annunciation to the Irish might be Junkie!  Who knows?  I'm reaching here but you've gotta wonder.
     
    There are many other words that explain the same thing.  Let's think.  Anything with head attached to it...
    ;) ;)

    Cokehead, for example.  You can take it from there. :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at March 8, 2019 1:24 PM MST

    I had a feeling (probably not the same feeling you do but a good one) yours always rises and salutes at erect attention when called upon.
    Being your military training and all...
    ;D!  Big Hugs and Loves, always!

    Because to support their habit junkies will try to sell you worthless junk like silver ware sets that are missing half of the spoons. Cheers and happy weekend! This post was edited by Nanoose at March 8, 2019 1:30 PM MST
