Lesson 1: Naked Wife

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…

"Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 3

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Hope you enjoyed those - a friend sent it to me a while ago - did some abs and calves today:-

hanging leg raises with 8kg ankle weights…….4×15 (using the ankle weights as its hard me to do this exercise with a dumbell between the feet and its much better with the ankle weights.

decline crunch -4kg dumbell behind head…………….3 x 10reps

roman twists on decline bench…………….3 x 16 (used the stick )

cable crunch…………………………….4 sets x 45kgs x 13/14 reps

cable crunch again with rope……..3 sets x 12 reps x 40kgs

cable side crunches………………….25kgs each side x 3 sets x 20 reps

woodchopper on cables…………….15kgs 3 sets x 12 reps per side

leg raises on roman chair……..with 8kg ankle weights..3 sets x 20 reps, 3 sets x 16 reps(to the side)

ball crunches with 10kg plate over head…………….3 sets x 14 reps

ball crunches no weight……………3 sets x 20 reps

seated decline bench with 6 kg medicine ball………………….3 sets x 15 reps, half stop and hold.

jacknife……………3 sets x 14 reps (found with this exercise that when you pull the ball in, instead of keeping leg straight and taking your rear all the way to the top, bend knees and pull the ball in towards your abs - this to me is how it should be done because it gave me an incredible burn.

seated calf raises…………………….45kgs x 5 sets x 15 reps

standing calves(30’s) ……….3 sets x 30 reps(10in/10 out/10 straight)

hamstring extension of back extension machine with 8kg ankle weights - 3 sets x 20reps.

The gym was empty and I had a chance to just take my time, not be watched and just enjoy which was great, so I’m sure these abs will be sore tomorow.

Have an awesome Saturday - laugh until it hurts and have no regrets.
