The weight thing makes sense. Despite the cultural connotations, you pick up a lot more germs on your hands than on your bare butt, assuming conventional hygiene.
Someone asked for a joke. This is an old one, but it ties into one of the RBION cartoons for today.
A rather hoitsy-toitsy woman brought her teenage daughter in to a gynecologist as the girl was experiencing discomfort “down there”. The doc took specimens and ran tests and called the pillar of society back after a few days with the results.
“I’m afraid your daughter has contracted an STD, gonorrhea to be specific. Be grateful that’s all it is”, he said. “Gonorrhea responds very quickly to antibiotics.”
This shook the mother up. How awful.
“There’s never been anyone in this family with anything like that”, she said. “Is it possible she got this from a toilet seat?”
“I suppose it’s could happen” the doctor said. “But it would have taken near Olympic gymnastic skills to do it.”
One day, a woman is sitting on the toilet when she gets her hind end stuck in the toilet seat.
No matter how hard she tries, she can’t get unstuck, so she calls her husband for help.
The husband tries to pull the wife out of the toilet, but she still won’t budge.
Finally, the husband gets his screw driver and unscrews the seat from the toilet. Now the woman can stand up, but they still can’t get the seat unstuck.
So they go to the doctor’s office. They are ushered into a treatment room, and soon the doctor arrives. The husband asks the doctor, “Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“Plenty,” says the doctor. “But this is the first one I’ve ever seen mounted and framed.”
His mother thinks he has been in there too long, so she goes in to see what’s up.
The little boy is sitting on the toilet reading a book. But about every ten seconds or so he puts the book down, grips onto to the toilet seat with his left hand and hits himself on top of the head with his right hand.
His mother says, “Billy, are you all right? You’ve been in here for a while…”
Billy says, “I’m fine, Mommy…i just haven’t gone ‘doody’ yet."
Mother says, “Okay, you can stay here a few more minutes. But, Billy, why are you hitting yourself on the head?"
A friend suggested I go to a gym/workout place for some impetus to get regular exercise. I picked two that had a free initial tryout. Just walking into the first’s workout area made me nauseous with the odor. The second’s registration area odor had me deciding this was not for me. These were national chain places. Maybe I shoulda tried after the covid infection when I lost my sense of smell, but now that it’s recovered, I’m steering clear.

Jason’s weights once harbored 363 times more germs and had two horns.

As long as you don’t lick the free weights or eat with your hands while exercising, you should be okay.

Doesn’t mean much unless you know how BAD those germs are. We depend on GOOD germs.

When you have a home to take care of you do not need a gym ;-)

Well, there’s something about the looks of a rhino that is enough to keep it defended from me.
Take care, may renowned germ counter Agatha “Oh They’re Such CUTE Little Things Aren’t They” Giggelord be with you, and gesundheit.

Since toilets have been mentioned:
One day, a woman is sitting on the toilet when she gets her hind end stuck in the toilet seat.
No matter how hard she tries, she can’t get unstuck, so she calls her husband for help.
The husband tries to pull the wife out of the toilet, but she still won’t budge.
Finally, the husband gets his screw driver and unscrews the seat from the toilet. Now the woman can stand up, but they still can’t get the seat unstuck.
So they go to the doctor’s office. They are ushered into a treatment room, and soon the doctor arrives. The husband asks the doctor, “Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“Plenty,” says the doctor. “But this is the first one I’ve ever seen mounted and framed.”
Until next time.

An old letter in the ANN LANDERS column was about an old maid who got stuck to a freshly vanished toilet seat.
Trying to preserve the victim’s modesty,they decided the only person to call was the family doctor.
The doctor fell down laughing,rammed into the bathtub,and broke two ribs.

Yeah yeah. They say the same thing about the toilet seat and the kitchen sink.

A three year old boy is sitting on the toilet.
His mother thinks he has been in there too long, so she goes in to see what’s up.
The little boy is sitting on the toilet reading a book. But about every ten seconds or so he puts the book down, grips onto to the toilet seat with his left hand and hits himself on top of the head with his right hand.
His mother says, “Billy, are you all right? You’ve been in here for a while…”
Billy says, “I’m fine, Mommy…i just haven’t gone ‘doody’ yet."
Mother says, “Okay, you can stay here a few more minutes. But, Billy, why are you hitting yourself on the head?"
Billy says, “ Works for ketchup."

The “takeaway”: Build up your arms by lifting toilet seats.

I’m still going to use free weights for exercise. I tried lifting a public toilet and it was bolted down to tightly.
