Physical Humor

The other day, I was leaving my apartment for the gym. Usually, instead of bringing a gym bag with all my stuff, I just throw my sweats on over my running clothes before venturing out into the cold. But this time around, it felt a little breezier than usual as I headed towards the door. Luckily, it dawned on me that I had forgotten to put on my shorts under my sweats. Now this in itself was pretty unremarkable. But then I got to thinking. One of these days I'm going to forget completely and strip down to my boxers in the middle of the gym. And then it occurred to me what would be worse, not the nudity in a public place - the track team uniform is skimpier than my skinnies - but the look of embarrassed horror on my face as I stand stooped over holding my pants around my knees. Knowing me, I'd probably even panic and fall over.
