Humor of the Day: Night of the Living Dead

After a too long dry spell of "no humor," I can thank this old, out of shape man at All Sport last night for this Humor of the Day post.

While sitting quietly and rather motionless at the blood pressure machine (as instructed), I saw this large, old man, with a huge "spare tire" heading towards me.

He approached me and said "You don't need to speak to me, but you look like you have died."

Something told me this wasn't a compliment.

There were many thoughts that went through my head about how he looked, but I bit my tongue and simply replied "I am tired."

He then slumped over, contorted his face, closed his eyes and told me again that I looked "dead."

After his dramatic re-enactment of my deadly appearance, he explained that he was looking for a piece of paper and there are usually small slips of paper at the blood pressure machine. After rising from the dead, I handed him a piece of paper, he rambled on about my red hair and how I must be Irish. And then, he waddled off.

It wasn't until after my grueling spin class that I actually laughed about this bizarre encounter. I thought to myself "If he thought I looked dead before, he should only see me now....." lol
