The other day I drove a different vehicle to the gym. I did not realize until I pulled into the parking lot that I had left my ear buds at home. My gym has 10 TVs hanging from the ceiling with different channels programmed. You can plug in while you are on the treadmill and listen to music or watch TV. Since I needed my ear buds to listen to the sound on the TV, I thought I would go in and work out with free weights and forgo walking on the treadmill.
After finishing my workout, I thought I would walk on the treadmill for about 10 minutes, quietly, without any sound. As I was walking and looking at the programs on the TVs, I started making up what the people were saying on the shows.
Cooking show host making a cake-"Don't try this at home. This is my 6th try, the ingredients are expensive and you could buy something cheaper and save yourself a lot of trouble."
Home improvement show/buyers are viewing houses to buy/potential male buyer-"Look at all of those clothes in that closet. It's a good thing I'm not married to her. She would bankrupt us on shoes alone".
Bridal show/mom and dad and best friend are waiting on the bride to come out in a potential wedding gown-Best friend "You are going to pop out." Mom "You will never be able to bend over or hug anyone in that dress." Dad-"If you think I am paying $6000 on a dress to wear for 5 hours, you're crazy".
Weather channel-Meteorologist "I don't really know if it is going to snow or not. Your guess is as good as mine."
TV drama/murder plot-Male detective "What motive could the wife have for wanting the husband dead?" Female detective "Maybe he left his dirty socks on the floor".
I ended up staying my usual time on the treadmill. It was fun to make up dialogues to the shows. But probably the other walkers didn't appreciate me laughing out loud.
