Gymnast

GYMNAST, n. A man who puts his brains into his muscles. The word is from the Greek gumnos, naked, all the athletic exercises being performed in that shocking conditions; but the members of the Olympic Club make a compromise between the requirements of the climate and those of the ladies who attend their exhibitions. They wear their pyjamas.

2010 Update: An athlete gifted with all the talents of an assassin but burdened with none of the responsibilities.

Regarding the post time: It seemed awfully quiet.

    Bear, silence is in fact golden.

    Thom, those are the ones I remember, too.

    Thanks, Nessa. Who knew there was a real Jim Nast?

    TLP, did you miss it by much?

    Sorry about that Terry.

    Cooper, there might be plenty but I'm no weight-lifter.

    Good morning, Flip.

    Thanks for the reminder, Doug. It's on my 'in my head' list but not on the paper one.

    I need to shop for summer pyjamas now as I hear the fall sales have begun. Last time I shopped for those PJ's I got two pair at $1 each at Walmart.
    Thanks, again,

    Jim, do you need the Walmart advertising flyer from Sunday's paper? They have a real good sale starting tomorrow. There's no pyjamas for $1 each, but they have flannel shirts for $4.99 each.

    Oh wait a minute. Flannel shirts for $4.99 each is the regular price. The Walmart Rollback price is flannel shirts for $2.34 each.
