All that gym talk - how could I resist?
The Baker's Gym of Hunger is a new
exercise
program, with new equipment - like
Boxercise, Jazzercise, but
with
a few differences.
Not only do you get a good
work-out at the Gym of Hunger, you also
learn how to
bake, AND you get a cake to take
home
as your reward. This is because at this
gym you make cakes AS your
workout.
Every item you need to use is therefore
either extra heavy, or attached to the
wall,
floor or ceiling by an adjustable spring.
Add a pinch of salt? - go ahead, the lid
on
the salt cellar needs a torque wrench to
get it off, and then you've got to lift it
unto
the work bench, after running around the
room ten times holding it at arm's
length,
with the instructor roaring at you like a
drill sergeant.
Need a spoon to measure the flour? -
you'll find it attached to
the end of a 20 kg barbell.
Once the cakes are in the oven, and the
room
really begins to heat up, you may need a
wee drink - you'll find the water at the
top
of that rope which goes all the way to the
ceiling a la Mutiny on the Bounty
style.

the reason I said torque wrench was
because the lids would be preset to
increasing loads and labelled
accordingly.... so the wrench would
work the opposite way round - an un-
torque wrench ! (wriggles free from 21's
accurate pedantry) |

Like I don't have enough trouble getting it together to bake anyway. |

21Q unless you can post link evidence for you objection I'm calling it baseless trolling. My cheapest torque wrench (fulcrum, click) is reversible and clicks in both directions, I've never calibrated it for reverse thread but it has never broken or lost accuracy when used to both loosen and tighten. Not nice. |

Baseless trolling? I don't think so. What I'd like is for those who keep adding anonymous bones to outline their reasons. I know who one of the recent ones is, and I think they know that I know. |

To answer UB's question - of course, but that's one of the reasons why you keep coming back. |
