Ha! That reminds me – this health spa – work out place my dad and I used to go to got sold to a Chinese family who turned it into a big restaurant. I used to wonder whether they kept the pool and the sauna and whirlpool and all in the back. That’d be pretty sweet, actually. Work a double shift in your restaurant, and then just kick it in the back in the steam room and take a dip. Pass out in the chair next to the pool.

Tracy Lynn: It really is a travesty, isn’t it?
THB: Maybe I could get free smoothies for a month. They’re really healthy, ’cause they’re made with fruit! Never mind the fact that they have 800 calories each… they’ve got mangoes and bananas in them!
Marc: Oh, yeah. You know the gym. Now that you mention it, there are an awful lot of obscure memos posted on the walls. But now with no more salmonella-chicken, I may have to resort to eating the koi…

Jen,
I can probably guess which gym you are referring to and believe me you are probably better off without the chicken. “Unfortunate circumstances” is probably code for someone dying of salmonella poisoning. Nothing that management does would surprise me. This is the gym where the management posts crazy memos as if they were professional bloggers right?

I’m totally with you on that. Denial of rotisserie chicken is definitely a deal breaker in the decision as to whether to stay with a gym.
I think they should give you a free one, since you were already filling up the punch card!

Dude, the wrongness of this situation is overwhelming. Why would anyone join a gym without the opportunity to eat rotesserie chicken?
I don’t know what this world is coming to, I really don’t.

Shari: If they would hang the chicken from a rope in front of the treadmill so I could take a bite every minute or so, then we’d be in business. Maybe I’ll propose this to them…
Neil: Since I joined the gym, I have gained 4 lbs and my pants are tighter than ever. There’s your answer.

You must be in amazing shape because you go to this gym so often. Or did you just go to pick up the chicken and leave?

Jenny, they were cutting their losses because you obviously weren't eating enough rotisserie chicken in sufficiently condensed periods of time! See? THAT's what caused this whole travesty. Maybe if you promise to eat more, and eat it faster, they'll bring it back for you?

Viv: GRRRR!! RRAAWWRRR!! SNARRRLL! Meat! Meat! Meat!
Peefer 1-3: God god, man! You’ve gone mad! Stop running around like a chicken with its hea-… oh, never mind.
