From the guy that tried to pay his overdue fees with the picture of spider, we have two new sets of emails (hold on while I locate the Landlord
one):
THE GYM
From: Jeff Peters
Date: Wednesday 8 April 2009 10.22am
To: David Thorne
Subject: Membership Renewal
Dear David
This is a friendly reminder to let you know your gym membership expired last week. Your membership is important to us and we would like to take this
opportunity to show our appreciation by offering you a 20% discount on your membership renewal. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
All the best, Jeff Peters

Dear Jeff,
Thankyou for your friendly reminder and the kind offer to reduce my membership by twenty percent. I own a calculator but I could not work out how to
do percentages on it so have estimated that I save around $372.10 off the normal price of $420.00 - Please confirm that this is correct and I will
renew my membership immediately. Also, do I get a Fitness First sports bag with towel and drinking bottle included in the price? I own my own
legwarmers and headband.
Regards, David.

Hello David
How did you come to that amount? Our half year membership fees are actually $460 but with the 20% discount as an existing member your renewing
membership fee would be only $368 for the six months saving you almost $100 off the normal price. We are not Fitness First so do not have those
bags.
Cheers, Jeff

Free shipping with what? The $368 covers your membership fees for six months.

Dear Jeff
By the power of Greyskull that is a lot of money but I admit to being in desperate need of increasing my body strength. My ten year old child often
turns the taps off in the bathroom very tightly and I have to go several days without washing. I feel bad constantly having to ask the lady from next
door to come over and loosen them for me, what with her arthritis and limited wheelchair access to my apartment. To be honest, I originally joined
your gym with full intentions of attending every few days but after waiting in vain for someone to offer me steroids, I began to suspect this was not
going to happen and the realisation that I may have to exercise instead was, quite frankly, horrifying. My aversion to work, along with the fact one
of your employees, Justin, was rather rude, telling me to 'lift this', ''push that' dulled my initial enthusiasm of
becoming muscular and I stopped attending.
Regards, David.

Hello David
Not sure how to take your email, nobody here would offer you steroids, it is illegal and none of our staff would do this. Justin is one of our most
experienced trainers and if you found him rude while he was trying to be helpful and just doing his job then there are plenty of other gyms you could
look at joining instead.
Cheers, Jeff

Dear Jeff
Yes, I have noticed that there are many gyms in my area. I assume the low qualification requirements of fitness trainers means that there is an over
supply of these buffed but essentially otherwise purposeless professionals. I knew a guy in high school who couldn't talk very well and
collected sticks, he used to call the teacher 'mum' and during recess we would give him money to dance. Then sell him sticks to get our
money back. He went on to become a fitness instructor so I view gyms as kind of like those factories that provide a community service by employing
people with down syndrome to lick stamps and pack boxes. Except with more Spandex obviously.
Regards, David.

Dear Jeff
I was, at first, quite surprised at your response; one minute you are inviting me to renew my membership and asking me for money, the next insulting
me. After doing a little research however, I have learnt that mood swings are an expected side effect of steroid abuse. As another side effect is a
reduction in the size of your p#$%, this gives you understandable cause to be an angry person. I have also learnt that Spandex contains carcinogenic
properties so this does not bode well for yourself and your shiny friends. If I woke up one morning and my p#$% was a quarter of the size I would
probably take my anger out on those around me as well. There are probably support groups or websites that could help you manage your problem more
effectively and picture based books available on the subject for people with limited reading skills. When I am angry I like to Listen to music by
Linkin Park. The added angst and desire to cut myself works similarly to the way firefighters fight forest fires by burning off sections, effectively
canceling each other out and I find myself at peace. I understand that you guys usually listen to Pet Shop Boys or Frankie Goes to Hollywood so this
may be worth a try.
Regards, David.
