Dragging out the dead

I have to PROVE I can work out?? What is this country coming to? Will it be a job requirement that I'm buff enough to take on Bruce Willis in unarmed combat?

I can see it maybe as a requirement for health insurance ("Here, coff, coff, lemme put down my cigarette and whiskey before I try to lift that suitcase of unmarked bills").

But what about someone oh, say, who just happens to be recovering from torn rotator cuff surgery? Purely a hypothetical case here, of course. But let's say he underwent it on September 16, so it's still six months since his shoulder got cut open. Do I - I mean, does HE -- go to the school nurse and get excused from gym class?

Jerome, the fifty pound rule is fairly standard. All the execs at the money center banks work out.

Of course I didn't apply. Lifting stuff like that would spoil my suits.

It's a good motto for life, especially after having shoulder surgery: Don't lift anything heavier than a cocktail.

I guess you didn't apply for the job because you can't lift 50 #s.
