My father told me a funny story the other day I thought it was good to share.
Here it is:
My father was practicing his PT the other day. He was running a walking trail behind some houses. He was passing one with three young guys (late teens/early twenties) mowing a lawn, and he noticed that they were laughing and pointing at him. He immediatly came to a dead stop and said "you must be f-ing joking me right?". The guys were kind of of surprised, so they kept quiet while my dad tore into them.
He said "you are going to laugh at me?. I get paid 70,000 dollars a year to do this. The lawn you are mowing belongs to a leuitent-general who makes 100,000 a year. You make minmum wage, mow lawns, and probably live with your parents. I should be laughing at you".
They stood there flabbergasted and probably feeling pretty stupid. My father shook his head, smirked, and went on with his jog.
I got quite a laugh out of that. They next time I decide to practice my running, I will remember this story and ignore those who would make fun of me. ;D
