The difference between boys and men...

…is not that big at Bally’s Total Fitness. Consider the signs:


Please do not cut your hair in the sink.


Do not throw paper in the urinals. If seen, your membership may be revoked.


These are not metaphoric signs. They are pieces of paper pasted strategically throughout the locker room.


I’m sure this is not a phenomenon unique to Bally’s. At every gym I’ve ever visited, clients demonstrate a difficulty in returning dumbbells to their proper location, or removing weights from the barbell. In the unlikely event a bar is unloaded, it is a near certainty that barbells will not be returned to their homes.  Today there was an old apple core beside one of the cable machines.


In college, our coach would not let anyone leave the gym until every dumbbell and barbell was returned to its spot. This took less than 5 minutes.


Irony is everywhere. You would think people go to the gym to AVOID being a lazy slob.
