Cross-Fit-To-Be-Tied

For the past several months, there has been a Cross-Fit Gym next to our photo studio.  Now I confess, I don't know much about the Cross-Fit craze, but as near as I can tell, it involves toting spare tractor parts around the parking lot while the coach stands off to one side and yells at you. 

They would be going through their workouts while I was moving out equipment in preparation for our retirement.  Since there was no place else for me to go, I would walk right through the middle of them.  I was carrying studio photographic equipment, while they were carrying what appeared to be a John Deere transmission.  After a few days of this, I decided to have a little fun.  I started to say things like. "How much are you paying to haul that?"  Or, "You can move this for me, and I promise not to yell at you."  

Francie even asked one guy, "Don't you think it'd be easier if you'd just roll that big ol' tire?"

Man, sweaty people just have no sense of humor!
