People do stupid things

Yes sir-ree they do. I have this, um, friend (yeah, that's it). We'll call him Brian. Brian knows that after a long hiatus from going to the gym, he has a tendancy to overdo it when he goes back, which keeps him from going again and is counter-productive. Last week he went back for the 1st time in months and lifted weights. He took it very easy & felt good afterwards (ya know, the good soreness). Crisis averted.

Then our hero went back to the gym.

Have you heard comedian Lewis Black's bit on candy corn? It's great; he tells about he hates the stuff, but if he walks into a room and there is some candy corn in a dish, he forgets he's ever eaten it before, goes over, grabs a handful and chows down. Then 3 hundreths of a nanosecond after it's too late to stop chewing remembers he hates the stuff. That's exactly what I, I mean this Brian guy, did on trip #2 to the gym. He went in, and worked out like he'd been going for months.

Now his mouse feels like it weighs 30 pounds. And he will lose a lot of weight since he cannot lift a forkful of food. People do stupid things. I'm just sayin'.
