Sorry...I couldn't resist, but this silly humour is what keeps me alive sometimes..:-)

Important Muscles
-----------------One of the most popular machines at my gym is a bizarre-looking
contraption designed to strengthen your gluteus maximus. It might
seem like a frivolous California vanity thing to you, but it's more
practical than you think. For example, if your spouse hogs all the
bed covers, just clench the sheet with your butt muscles and hold
on. Your spouse will be grunting and tugging while you appear to
be sleeping peacefully, never letting on that there's a
struggle going on below the surface.Or suppose you were kidnapped and your hands and feet were tied,
but you were smart enough to wear stretch pants. Your butt,
properly trained, can be a fierce fighting machine. With a little
practice you can learn to disarm a knife-wielding ASSailant.A huge, muscular butt can also make you appear taller when you're
seated. That's a big advantage at business meetings. No one will be
the wiser until you stand up and butt-slap the overhead projector
against the wall when you turn to leave.I started using the butt machine myself, with the ultimate goal of
making it easier to hold tools for home repairs. If you have only
two hands, and you're already holding a flashlight and a
screwdriver, you need at least one more set of opposable cheeks to
keep the pliers nearby. As a bonus, I figure it will discourage my
neighbor from borrowing my tools.
