The Life of a Treadmill.
By, John
A glimmer appears in your wife's eye when she set's eyes on it. "Wow hun, this would be great!!! We can both use it and get in shape!!! Burn those calories and be healthy like the government says we should!!" The husband replies, "Ok pumpkin.... if it will make you happy, then we will buy it. BUT, make sure you use it!!" (What he is thinking: "This damn thing is going to be another thing for me to trip over, its going to collect dust, and be a big waste of money" but of course won't say it outloud). The wife replies, "Of course I will use it!!" So you put the amount of $657 on your VISA.
6 months later: Husband is walking in the basement and WHAM, he slams his knee into a large black object. He yells a few choice words and looks down. Low and behold...... IT'S THE TREADMILL!!!! Looking just like it did a month ago... 5 dead spiders on the track, 3 cob webs on the handles, an empty water bottle in the cupholder and a pair of socks next to it.
1 year later: Socks are gone, but there are 4 more cobwebs, and 15 more dead spiders.
5 years later: Sell at garage sale for $37
The End
