Midlife Crisis: Part 2
September 26th, 2008Tales From The Gym: Signage
September 21st, 2008A couple of weeks ago in my low rent gym they put up around a dozen of these weird inspirational propaganda notices. One reads:
Train, Eat,
& Sleep
an
Athletes
Dream
Another:
Improving
Our Health
Improves
the quality
of our Lives
They creep me out a little. Also what the hell is the point? They are hanging up in a gym, isn’t that like preaching to the choir? Do people come to the gym with a pint of Haagen Dazs and look at one of these signs and remember they are supposed to work out? If these were up around the Hydrox display in the supermarket that might help me.
What I would like to do is print up one that reads:
WORKing
out WILL
SET YOU
FREE
The Mgt.
Problem is none of the real ones are signed “The Mgt.” so that would be a dead giveaway. And you have to have that, it’s half the joke. You get it? “The Mgt.”? Markoff Chaney? The Robert Anton Wilson character? Anybody?
You darn kids with your Xbox 180s and iPads. Phooey!
