Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 20, 2023

Horace, if avoiding exercise got positive results, we’d all be like Superman.

No need to get exercised over this. We’ll work it out.

I’ve worked hard my whole life

I like to say that I spend 40 hours a week working out and they pay me to do it

This morning our regular lap swimmers were forecasting about two more weeks before the New Years resolution crowd quits and stops hogging our lanes.

Yeah, weren’t they supposed to have mailed you some fitness by now?

Well, Horace, you got some exercise…. your check bounced…!

Me thought horsies get enough exercise running races so they not need gym.

You missed part of the deal, Horace.

Ha! decades ago, we joined a Racquetball club…the next week it closed its doors and we lost over $600.00 They kept accepting members and knew they were closing! The Attorney General was contacted but nothing came of the case and we got royally screwed‼️☹️☹️

The entire gym industry is built on “no shows”. There was a major lawsuit in Santa Barbara years ago when a new gym sold something like 500 times reasonable usage in memberships before it even opened . Non-refundable, of course.

I heard on a podcast once that “gyms” only care about signing people up to memberships, and don’t care if they attend. In fact they sign up far more people than they can actually accommodate because they assume people won’t show up.

Another New Year’s resolution bites the dust.

Is he going there in person or in horse?

Houyhnhnms have such bodily control they can keep themselves fit without doing the exercizing.
