In which Spoof and Speck don't talk about work!

You know what bugs us? Commercials for excercise equipment. We're really supposed to believe these people lost like a hundred pounds in four months "just by using this machine"? We're supposed to just take the word of some stranger who we're not sure we believe actually used the equipment in question?

What makes her so trustworthy? And who looks that happy while exercising?

Recently, after seeing one of those commercials, we had the following conversation:

lady-on-commercial "I'm a tread climber believer!"
Speck "'I'm a tread climber believer (said in a squeaky, mocking voice).' I think I'm a tread climber skeptic."
Spoof "I'm a tread climber agnostic. I'd like to believe there is some equipment out there that works. I'm just not sure what one."

And then we fell over laughing. If you are like our friend who witnessed this interchange, you will not find this nearly as funny as we did. Still, we stand by our joke.

We'd exercise with Richard Simmons if it meant we got to hang out with a California Raisin!
