It’s been a while so I suppose I should head in for a physical. You know, now that I’m in the worst shape of my life. I could spend some time before hand trying to improve my physique by just doing general exercise. But I’m more the kind of person who just likes to game the system. So instead of working hard every day, I think I’ll just find out what tests they will be performing and train in those ‘events’.
They want me to run 5 minutes on a tread mill? That’s what I’ll do- 5 minutes each day for a month. I’ll be the fastest person to run 5 minutes but at 5:01 I’ll pass out from fatigue.
They want me to blow into a spirometer? I’ll get my own spirometers in all shapes and colors and start practicing my huffing skills.
You get the picture. Just enough so I can get an A on the test while still having no real knowledge at all. That’s what I learned in school.
