Today I had a fight with my younger brother. He was real mean to me by saying that I should lose weight. You know, usually I adore exercise very much such as bench-press, sit-ups, jumping jacks, you name it. But my brother, which is opposite to me, always loads up on junk food every time he goes to the supermarket. So when I bulk up he just gains fat! He used to tape two bottles to a broomstick and made them barbells, but they turned out to be empty bottles! To make it clear who is the real ripped one, I pinned him to the grass for five minutes. So the story ended up with his surrender, and sure enough, all his snacks handed in.
