Put them together, and you average out to…good.

At my gyms, it’s the silver fox’s who play raquetball…then dry their crinkly old saggy balls under the hand dryer…I’ll wager that’s the only reason you play, so you can desicrate the sanitary hand drying facilities in the locker room. BUSTED!! (Yes TX told me)
