All a person really needs is a good haircut. Plus, at a salon you get to sit around reading US magazine. Not that I don't see people in the gym doing exactly that...

Swedish ones are the best, as they seem to have little sense of direction, and get easily confused between left and right, making them easier to maul. Apparently this is down to the language, as the Swedish for "left" and "right" is the same word. When I catch a tourist, I lift them above my head and spin them around, so that centrifugal force deposits their passports and backpacks on the ground below. I find this simple method of attack keeps my body fit, my brain active, and my blood-lust sated. I normally do this naked but for a baseball cap to keep the glare out my eyes. I have thighs like an oak, an abdomen like a Volkswagen, and arms like the neck of a Bolivian donkey.

That's what it said on some cute ad I saw on the Internets. Don't know if it's true, but it makes me want to lose weight since that means I outweigh him and that makes me feel weird. Do not want to give up chocolates, red wine, and french fries, but would work out in the pool with Michael Phelps...oh yeah...
