Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, miss their flight and end up on the other side of the world. Arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it\u2019s not exactly what they expected\u2014meaning, it\u2019s awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re on the hotel stairs, where the four are climbing, talking about signing up for the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Hey! I just had a brilliant idea! Why don\u2019t we open our own gym, right there in the relaxation area of the observatory?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026I can bring the machines I made in my garage, maybe bring some more ropes, buckets, and bricks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026We could charge a participation fee to our colleagues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Great idea! And does this fee also include\u2026 injury insurance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Well! I haven\u2019t thought about that yet, but maybe we can put up signs saying \u201cCaution\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Better: \u201cCaution, beware of the broken toe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Maybe we could ask for payment in credits at the vending machine instead of cash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yeah, that\u2019s an idea, but I should talk to my cousin\u2019s accountant first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: We need to come up with a name\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: How about\u2026 \u201cThe Bricklayer\u2019s Gym\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026We even have a slogan: \u201cNo Pain, No Gain.\u201d But, in this case, the pain is the broken toe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Maybe we could ask members to bring their own newspaper hat and trowel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: \u2026 free energy drinks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: And decent music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Or maybe something original like: \u201cSunflowerr Gym \u2013 Train if you can survive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
