I went to a new gym today
that touted
efficient exercise.
I expected an empty room.
Instead it
was a room
filled with weights and
muscle building machines.
The trainer had biceps
that tried to
burst out from his arms.
I asked,
"Could I have
biceps
like yours?"
"Only
if you have the same genetic
disposition,"
he said.
I replied,
"We are more alike
than penguins on an iceberg."
He answered,
"Yes,
we are all alike."
I left,
having no interest
in bursting
biceps.
Maybe, though,
I could sell
them on Craigslist.
