  2. After explaining your fitness goals, exclaims, "Oh, you meant *physical* fitness!"

  3. Has designed a resistance machine to train your "love muscle."

  4. His physique is less Bruce Lee and more Bruce Vilanch.

  5. Tells you to "feel the burn" while holding your hand over a candle, G. Gordon Liddy-style.

  6. Those aren't typos on his business card; he really does work for "Belly Total Fatness."

  7. His IM alias: PastramiKing

  8. The skinny bastard can't seem to compliment your progress without adding "... for a fat guy."

  9. Insists that "Calisthenics" is book by L. Ron Hubbard.

  10. "What say you cut this set short and help me polish off this box of jelly-filleds?"

  11. His stamina training involves you jogging to the package store and toting back a case of Zima.

  12. Claims she's related to Jenny Craig, but looks suspiciously like *Larry* Craig.

  13. He uses a cheeseburger as a bookmark in the training manual.

  14. Makes a beeping noise like a truck backing up every time you walk across the room.

  15. Gets winded unwrapping his cigarettes.
