My First Blood moment

Out-machoing the bodybuilders at the local gym.

The neighbourhood gym is a den of grunting rapists, but on my periodic visits I drift between them, avoiding their matey small-talk, and find the 80s disco remixes and the wall-to-wall replays of Barça minutiae conducive to meditation on subjects a million miles from the tiny bikinis which are the wonder of my gendermates. And so it was that I failed to notice that my towel bag was the same used earlier to transport several kilos of bloody boar, and that in wiping my head I was leaving a trail of porcine entrails. Life may not be the same again.

In London and New York they ban grunters and gropers, but here it is apparently all part of the fun.
