There is a new gal showing up in the steam room right around the time I go. She’s super friendly, I’ve seen her a few times now.

“Is it true you burn fat by sitting in here?” she asked.

I did a double take. “No I don’t think so,” I said.

“Well I lost ten pounds last week just sitting in here.”

I was grateful for the steam, I knew she would not be able to make out the look of startlement on my face.

“Well that’s amazing,” I said. “Just amazing, good for you.”

“Yeah, I’m really happy.”

“Me too. I’m happy too,” I said lying down so I could burn even more fat.
