There’s Something Funny About This Exercise Room



Actually, there are three things.

1. The scale said I weighed 102 pounds. The scale is either wrong, or a time machine to 1992.

2. While there is a window, the treadmill faces away from it. Clearly, whoever arranged the equipment has a loathing of nature so deep that they prefer the sight of sweat encrusted beige wallpaper to, say, a tree. To compensate, the different incline levels have names like “Alpine Ascent" and "Hillock Schlep.”

3. The Health Rules sign declares the following:

“If your doctor recommends that you refrain from exercise, take his advice.”

That inspired me to create a riddle. It is:

"If a doctor recommends that you refrain from exercise, how can the doctor be a woman?"

Answer: If you aren’t sexist.
