The Treadmill

now today i was running on the treadmill because the
weather is abominable outside (i.e. raining like a mother-
fucker). so anyhow i'm on the treadmill and i notice
something i'd never noticed before....namely that there is
a plug which has a cord that is attached to a wrist band
(i suppose so that you can attach it to your wrist......).
apparently what this wrist band does is that you can pull
on the adjoining cord and unplug the plug, thereby
stopping the treamill.......very, very, very abruptly.
let's say you're running @ 8 mph, the plug will swiftly go
down to 0.0 mph in about a half a second, in other words,
you lose teeth.
i did not know that this safety precaution was so
dangerous so i decided to try it at 5.5 mph. holy flying
shit, i was like superman once i pulled the cord. i heard
my knee pop in three different places and i smashed into
the display panel, finally crumpling up in a heap on the
treadmill. needless to say i was slightly embarrassed by
my ordeal so i did the next best thing i could think of to
deter attention from me, so i bit the 45 year old man
doing dead lifts next to me and quickly bolted.....well,
atleast i didn't look as dumb as him.
