Our little gym

There is a fitness room at our complex that we have used quite a bit. It has a set of weight machines, four treadmills, two ellipticals, and two bikes.  It also has two t.v.'s which is turned on to ESPN whenever Jeff goes in.  We haven't had any problems with people in there or getting to use the things we want, but we have had a couple of interesting experiences.  On Saturday, there was a girl running on the treadmill. Somehow, something went wrong and she flew off the back of the treadmill. That's pretty funny, but imagine the treadmills are set up so that the backs are against some large windows. You can't walk behind the treadmill there isn't that much space. So when the girl flew off the treadmill she smacked into the window. She wasn't hurt so it turned out to be pretty hilarious.  There is also this interesting old guy who comes in. The first time he came in we were already there and he walked in wearing his big old hat, wife-beater with old button up shirt on top, and short shorts. We jump on the treadmill and start walking. Much to our surprise and dismay, he stripped all the way down to wearing only his short shorts before getting n the treadmill. Thats not too bad, but if he gets into the room before you he turns off the t.v.  Jeff looked all over for the remote so that he could turn them on, but the guy hides it in his pile of clothes he took off. We didn't know this the first time until he left. But what do you do? Rifle through his discarded clothing until you find the remote?
