That was just too funny! And I can relate! A couple of years ago I made the mistake of agreeing to a trainer session. Never again. Damned near killed me. What makes these people think that the average guy can do all of that in the first workout and not become so sore you can’t even put your shoes on the next day?! I was pissed too, because it was just before the holidays and I had a lot of stuff to do. Never again!

Over doing an exercise program at first is the most common reason people give up on them. Start slow work your way up.

Sure. That's great advice. The only trouble is that trainers throw you in the deep end right off the bat.

” the joggers and bike dorks decked out in their ‘I’m better than you, aren’t I?!’ gear.”

I think you nailed it right there. Never, never underestimate the lengths — or depths — people will go to prop up their feelings of superiority.

Without this, the entire political Left would collapse.

You are so right. Love the toothbrush imagery. Laughed until tears. Glad I wasn’t out in public.

“I remember this one from the early or mid 1990’s”

The good old days when it would have been sent over the fax machine.

I split kindling and hauled wood for an hour and a half yesterday and was worthless for the rest of the day.

I still see that scam about Bill Gates giving away money.

Or ‘Good luck Mr. Gorsky’ or ‘me travel many lands and never see an apple talk’ or ‘raggot the gerbil.’

I’ve done the toothbrush thing after a similar experience.

>>The “silly outfits” cyclists wear have a very practical purpose. But if you want to assume they’re just a conceit, I don’t suppose there’s any convincing you otherwise.

I’ll bite. Why do the cyclist enthusiasts wear the flamboyant poof riding gear, gear queer shoes, helmets, and backpacks when anyone else can ride a bicycle in normal clothes, other than to show off, attract attention to for their egos and pretend they are something special? I’ve thought about it for years and have yet to come up with an reasonable answer other than they are showing off for each other on their rides to the bath house.

Your prejudice answers your own question.
