barkers on the sidewalk

each day the trip to lunch is a meandering through an urban maze

there are panhandlers, musicians, tourist, other workers out to lunch, and in front of the many gyms downtown there are often barkers

these carnival barkers amuse me
as so many of them do not hold a fit form that is to be desired
which is odd...
as the gym is selling an idea
the idea that if you walk in those doors... you will walk out looking like a calendar model

a barber can be bald
but the folks at the gym?
most certainly your personal trainer should more fit and more tone then the average customer
the lard ass should be hidden in the back washing the sweat soaked towels
