Okay, I just about laughed out a promotional kitten basket over this anecdote which I'm about to eruct. I really shouldn't be sharing this, but it's too funny not to. At work tonight, as my friend and I were standing in the lobby munching on some delicious pepperoni covered goodness, we overheard a person state, ever so confoundingly: "is this one of those things that you shake and it works your upper body?" Now, we all know what this individual was talking about, don't we? If you say no to that, you need to brush up on the hilarious stupidities of the past few years…. Sigh… I guess I'll explain to those hermits out there that don't know what I'm talking about. A few years ago, this thing came out on the market called the "Shake Weight." Now, this is a weight, a futuristic art nouveau style weight at first glance. But wait! There's more! If you ordered this product, we'll throw in the instructions for free! The way you use this "Shake Weight" is by grasping it, and making a very shameful motion with it. I mean, it's not that hard to do, but it's surely embarrassing. These are the kinds of things that we can't really mention in front of children.
I understand the point behind this piece of exercise equipment, and I'm not doubting the efficacy of it, but really, guys? Come on! Oh… not the best way to follow that sentence I guess. Really?! (there, better) Needless to say, after the individual who said this said it, my friend and I had some serious trouble stifling our laughter. Thankfully everyone else in the room thought that we had some sort of inside joke, or telepathic link to Futurama or something. Now, I know this seems pointless to post about, but hey, it's frickin' hilarious! I really do hope that you got as much of a laugh out of this as my friend and I did. So long!
