The Funniest Thing I Have EVER Seen...

Today at the gym, I witnessed the funniest thing. I usually miss stuff like this, so I am really thrilled I got to see it. Please know that I am only laughing at this now that I know no one was hurt. Even so, I'm a little bit evil for thinking it's so funny, I realize that. There was an elderly lady (say, about 70 years old) walking on the treadmill. I was on a bike behind her, and I caught a glimpse of something happening really fast and looked up to see her fall on the treadmill and slide off the back of the treadmill on her stomach. We've all seen those falls on youtube and the like, but wait, there's more. As if that wasn't bad enough, when she fell, her pants got stuck in the side of the treadmill track, and as she struggled trying to get up so she could stop the treadmill as it continued to run, it pulled her pants right off! She was laying on the floor/end of the treadmill with her pants all the way down, showing off her big white granny panties! There happened to be quite a few elderly people there, and about six old men just stopped and stared at her in her panties! One of them was on the treadmill right next to her, trying to stop hers, but he was slow in doing so, mainly because he was so distracted looking at this woman lose her clothes. It was absolutely hysterical. I dared not laugh until I got in my car to leave, but ever since, I laugh so hard just thinking about it. I must say, she handled it with such grace and dignity. I would have been in tears, and there would be no way I'd ever return to the same gym. But she held her head high and walked on. She had some bruising but said she was fine. I'm sure she'll be sore tomorrow! Wish you all could have seen it and shared in this great pleasure with me.

WOW!! That is so funny! I would have had to run out of the room to laugh. Good for you, in that you reacted politely and waited till you got into your car to laugh your head off. Thanks for sharing your story...it was great!
