Gym 28


This picture is just a bottle of regular over the counter painkillers but as you well know, a picture is worth a thousand words and the words this picture wants to convey is as follows:

This bottle of painkillers belongs to none other than everyone's favourite rival, Mr.P. Now, Mr.P gets terrible pains in his calves (for the record, Mr.P is not a farmer and no, Mr.P is not looking for a wife. I am refering to the muscles in Mr.P's legs).

So he would pop one or two of these pills like a billion times a day to relieve his pain (I am sure taking more than 8 of these pills a day will probably shorten his finger/s).

That's fine and to be honest, I don't really care what Mr.P puts in his mouth. However, today he showed me his bottle of pills.

Mr.P : Good morning, Mr. Unicorn.
Mr.Unicorn : Top of the morning to you, Mr. P
Mr.Unicorn : You look rather pale today, didn't you take your pills?
Mr.P : I tried but I can't.
Mr.Unicorn : What do you mean you can't?
Mr.P : Well, something is wrong with this bottle. I can't seem to open it, its like welded shut or something. So I figured maybe you can give it a go since you're on the road to recovery at the gym and might be strong enough to open it.
Mr.Unicorn : Ooooh, I like rivally things
Mr.P : Bet you can't 'cos scientifically, I'm like 8.4x stronger than you!

Bottom line is I did open the bottle and yes, I defeated Mr.P yet again. Oh yea. The power is coming back.
