Today I am going to start out with a story about two idiots and their first time going to a gym. Now these two foolish and naive individuals were freshman in collage and had the bright idea of bettering themselves by going to the local all purpose gym. For the sake of there identities we will name them Chuck (idiot #1 the ring leader) and Mike (idiot #2 the follower).

So on a brisk fall afternoon Chuck and Mike head in for their first work out. While there they first get con-ed into joining one of those 6 month programs were they are committed to paying a membership fee over that time. After the long and lengthy application process is finished they set off to start their first work out. Once finished with a vigorous work out they spend and hour playing basketball. After which they head back to the changing room to shower and be done for the first day.

Now Mike was again a bit naïve. He had actually never been to such a facility and felt a little twinge of nervousness just sauntering around and showering there with strangers, but as being 18 now and legally an adult he told himself that it was time to grow up. Once in the changing room they notice there was a sauna and a large hot tub. Well after all this working out it sounded like a good idea to end the day in a good soak. As they were entering the Hot tub Chuck looks up and see that there’s a sign hanging up in between the sauna and the hot tub stating ‘No clothing allowed’. Chuck thought nothing of it so he took off his shorts and hopped into the hot tub. Mike was a little more reluctant, but Chuck assured him that thist is how it is in gyms. There wasn’t anyone else around so Mike decided to get in as well.

There they sat, buck naked in at opposite ends of this 20 person hot tub relaxing. Mike sleepily thinking to himself that this wasn’t so bad after all. At that moment 6 other guys entered the hot tub all wearing swimming shorts. Alarm bells are ringing loud and clear. Both Chuck and Mike begin to wonder if they have some how misread or interpreted the sign they saw. As they sit there wondering, another 4 guy’s get into the hot tub all wearing swimming shorts. Now these two are in complete worry and distress and know that the sign must have been for the sauna. No one knows they are naked but they know they can’t sit in here for ever. Just then with out any warning Chuck leaps from the tub and quickly heads to the changing area. All the guys look from one another and laugh and heckle the retreating naked kid leaving. Now Mike is sitting there in full panic mode. His first plan is to wait until everybody leaves then head back to the changing room. But after 30 minutes of people entering and exiting the hot tub he realizes that there most likely isn’t going to be that opportunity and that he isn’t going to be able to withstand sitting there any longer. So he finally gets out of there, his shyness and insecurities coming up in full force.

That was the first and only day Mike went to the all purpose gym.
