Way back when, like 38 years (and 50 less pounds) ago, I volunteered to be the Guinea pig for a demonstration of a treadmill exercise test.

Got all hooked up to the machine while the technician explained to the group that a resting baseline EKG is recorded prior to beginning the actual test.

Imagine what I was thinking when he looked at the printout, then at me, then back at the printout which he zipped off like a grocery receipt and left the room.

So he comes back a few awkward minutes later and demonstrates exquisitely precise diplomacy while asking for a different participant.

'WTF', I'm thinking to my self.

Even worser my replacement was a massively obese, sweaty and short of breath guy who subsequently got his stomach stapled.

Moral of the story: NEVER volunteer for anything.
