like a fish needs a bicycle...

more fun at the gym

dear boys at the gym,

please remember two things (no dave matthews pun intended):

1. if you're going to be stinky while working out, it's a courtesy to others to wear enough clothing to stifle the scent you might exude. that way, i don't have to suffocate while trying to work out on the elliptical next to you.

2. if you're going to be sweaty while working out--so sweaty, in fact, that you'll be soaking in sweat and splashing your treadmill, the floor surrounding it, and the people next to you (like me)--please, for the love, use a towel. that way, i don't have to go fetch you one and offer it to you with a forced smile, so that i can then continue to run on my treadmill in relative dryness.

thank you for remembering these two very important things. i'm sure everyone's gym experience will be more pleasant now.

best,
naseem
