Sometimes not exercising can be a good thing

Remember that time you decided to study instead of going on a run, and as you were sitting at your desk, the maintenance guy that works for your building pulls up in his 1990 clunker and parks outside the building.

Then, remember when you saw all the smoke pouring out of the hood of the car, and you saw him jump out and open the hood, and then you saw FLAMES erupting out of the car! Yellow, bright, fiery flames! And you watched as he swore "shit!" and then ran into the building to grab a fire extinguisher. You thought about taking cover in case the car exploded and shrapnel came through the window you were gawking out of, but you decided that a car would have to burn for at least a minute before it exploded, so you grabbed your camera instead to take pictures in order to document this craziness that was happening.

Then he ran back out with the fire extinguisher and doused the entire engine in white crap that covered the car and the surrounding block. And you thought, ok well, that is as crazy as its going to get, until you saw him open the door of the car (it's still smoking btw!), and you thought, "Oh great. Now he's going to try to turn on the car and really blow this whole place to smithereens." But instead, you watch in complete amazement, as he reaches over to the passenger seat, grabs his Club, and securely locks it to the steering wheel. Yeah, because NOW the car is in real freaking danger of being stolen.

And to think you were going to go running today, and would have missed being a witness to this complete and utter chaos that happened DIRECTLY OUTSIDE YOUR APARTMENT. Remember, when that happened? Man, that was so crazy. It's probably the funniest thing you've seen all week. And it's only Monday.
