The
Aquatic & Fitness
Center
5 Esterbrook Lane
Cherry Hill,
NJ 08003
Dear
Aquatic & Fitness Center,
Why
don’t you just call it AquaFitneCent, and spare me the trouble of saying
so many words whenever I refer to your gym? Ah, I guess it doesn’t
matter. Saying “The Aquatic and
Fitness
Center” is a workout for your tongue, so maybe you named it that on
purpose.
I
have been lifting weights all my life. In fact, it’s really all I ever
do. My good friend Bill invented a 5,000 pound spoon for me so I can
pump up while I’m eating Froot Loops. I keep two weights in the bathroom
for when I’m sitting on the John, and I have even trained my body to
lift small weights as I sleep.
But
now I face a major dilemma in my career: Ron Howard showed up at my
doorstep yesterday, and out of the blue he offered me a leading role in
his upcoming film Supernerds. I don’t even know Ron Howard, so it
was kind of creepy. But he offered me 700 million dollars to play the
part, so I am considering it.
I
asked myself that night (while bench pressing a treadmill) whether to
continue building my manly muscles or to stray from my current path and
become an actor. Finally deciding on 700 million dollars, I called Ron
Howard. Unfortunately, for me to star in his movie I have to be skinny
and nerdy.
That
is why I require your assistance, AquaFitneCent. Do you offer some sort
of backwards fitness program for situations like this? If not, is there
a trainer at your gym who can assist me in losing all my muscle? I have
only three months until we start filming, and I must clock in at just
under 110 pounds to make the big bucks. Ron Howard says I’ll be playing
Dexter Poindexter, the nerdiest kid in high school who becomes the most
popular and good-looking kid by the end of the year. Brilliant! What an
original and imaginative plot! I can’t wait to start!
Please send me any literature available on backwards fitness. I look
forward to hearing back from you!
Sincerely,

Kevin
