Did you ever notice how people tend to fight for the best parking spots – the ones closest to the entrance – at the health club?

Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Heck, how about The Waiter’s experience at the mall last December?
http://waiterrant.net/?p=251
This is the guy linked in Taranto’s Best of the Web the other day. He’s hilarious. His wait-stories remind me of some of your sea stories (which are also all true).
This has been a standing joke at my gym. We’ve watched one person sit in the car waiting for a parking space to open up in the first row who then comes in and runs on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
We even added a variation: People run through the rain from the parking lot only to spend an hour sweating a quart. And they’re the ones who don’t wipe off the machines when they’re finished. Funny old world.
Must be a slow news day…excuse me as my eyes glaze over. Best

Can’t be Pushkin every day. Sometimes it’s just… small stuff
Don’t mind me.. just a bit squirrelly today resulting in an abnormal increase in my smart aleck level. Best
Can I get a bye if I tell it’s because I will be one of the last people leaving the gym late at night and I like my car close?
But I don’t run through the rain. Besides getting sweaty I am going to go into the steam room and follow it with a shower.
I go to the drill hall on base myself. Is the health club one those places like “Gold’s Gym” with all the eyeball liberty? Sure I’m missing something, as usual.
Don’t drop the soap in the showers.
