Thank you for your thoughtful and, fran...Dear Sir,<br /><br />Thank you for your thoughtful and, frankly, extremely disturbing letter. We too have struggled with the lycraholism epidemic that is plaguing fitness facilities nationwide. (Europe has already spiraled out of control. We're afraid it's a lost cause.) We sympathize with your complaint, and if our livelihood didn't depend on the monthly wages paid by such sartorial offenders, well, we'd leave too. <br /><br />I'd like to share with you a story that I believe is a beacon of hope for all of us praying for an end to the phallic madness. We have a member - let's call him 'Whitney' - who frequents the gym daily, is a cardio fanatic, and chooses to dress in extremely tight spandex shorts. As you can imagine, once he begins his usual routine he works up quite a profuse sweat, soaking said bike shorts. Did I mention he only wore light gray or white? I think you get the picture. One day, after approaching a young woman on the gym floor to "chat" she called the club management and was extremely upset, explaining she had seen quite enough and being so close to the "show" sent her over the edge. "You have to say something to him. Please make him stop," she cried! The manager was forced to contact 'Whitney' and explain that he was going to have to "cover up the fireman's helmet." 'Whitney' got angry and defensive, lashing out at the manager. But I am pleased to say that he showed up the next day in his brand new - though sadly still tight spandex - navy and black shorts. (Baby steps, Slim. Baby steps.) <br /><br />My point Mr. Tuffjam, and I do have one, is that there IS hope. And if fine, upstanding, concerned patrons such as yourself continue to speak out against this travesty, justice will be served. <br /><br />On behalf of gym managers everywhere, and all women with eyes, we thank you.<br /><br />*****<br />Also (inspired by yesterdays comments) - if G:TB ever becomes Gheorghe: the Band, then Lil' Squirrel and the Rogue Hairy Nuts would be an awesome name.<br /><br />And it really is a true story.KQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884341519076833340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-82961901644088304912010-01-12T19:26:43.436-05:002010-01-12T19:26:43.436-05:00Nice.
