I have a bit of an off color sense of humor. Not unlike some of the planeteers I bet. So.... over the years of going to the gym as a fat lady I have come to the conclusion that there is a "Fat Germ". I have been a member of my gym for years and years and in that time I have seen a lot of members and instructors go through. There is a gym culture.

Skinny people are always spoken to by the teachers and fellow workout individuals. This, in my twisted sense of dark humor, has led me to conclude that thin people are afraid of the DREADED FAT GERM. I have an entire comedy routine dedicated just to the fat germ. And it truly does amuse me, and has for many years. If you were on a treadmill beside me I swear I would crack you up. You might even mis-step and "fall" off said mill. And then we would both laugh our tom foolery asses off. But not literally ~ cause like that would look funny. But I do think that gym regulars with great bodies are DEADLY afraid of catching it... it has been a good 'weird' people repellant over the years...

Well, apparently I have been cured of the fat germ. In the last month I have had people befriend me in my classes. Now these are people who have sweated with me for, some of them, two or three years, and most of them a better part of the year. All of a sudden people are talking to me. I even have one lady offering to set me up because I always come in just under the wire . I say yes, cause hell there has to be some benefit.... to being cured I mean.

But... I do miss my guaranteed anonimity.

Interesting story ... but I swear all true....
