I met a personal trainer today, working for one of the leading chain of gyms in the Country.  They wear T-shirts emblazoned with "PERSONAL TRAINER".  Just in case you had any doubt what they did for a living. 

He was walking back to the gym, and the following brief conversation took place:

Darryl: "Why are you eating a McDonald's lunch?"

Guy: "I can't find anything else to eat!"

Darryl: "On one of the busiest High St's in London?”

Guy: "No, this is more convenient"

Darryl: "Not the greatest advert for a healthy lifestyle though, is it?  What would your clients think?"

Guy: "My clients are my advertisement, and they are all in great shape!"

At that, he walks off taking another bite of his burger and slurps from his very large soft drink.
