Marilyn:    I'm exhausted. My new exercise class is so hard.

Richard:    Your new exercise class?

Marilyn:    Yeah. My new advanced exercise class.

Richard:    Why advanced?

Marilyn:    My instructor thought that the beginner's class was too easy for me.

Richard:    Too easy for you?

Marilyn:    Don't laugh. In the beginner's class, they give you a chance to rest between exercises.

Richard:    So?

Marilyn:    The advanced class is nonstop.

Richard:    I lift weights every morning for sixty minutes without stopping. No problem.

Marilyn:    Listen, Richard, doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights.

Richard:    Yeah. Quite a bit different. I think aerobics easy. I could work out in your class with no problem.

Marilyn:    You think so?

Richard:    Oh, without a doubt. When's the next class?

Marilyn:    Tomorrow morning at ten 0'clock. Try it.

Richard:    Tomorrow morning after lifting weights, I'll try aerobics. It's a snap. Tomorrow    morning at ten 0'clock.

Marilyn:    Aren't you going to the aerobics class this morning?

Richard:    Of course. Easy. No sweat.

Marilyn:    You are not going to be able to move after this and the aerobics class.

Richard:    Are you kidding me? It's going to be a piece of cake. You want to bet.

Marilyn:    Yeah. What's the bet?

Richard:    I bet I can go one hour in your class this morning and not feel a thing!

Marilyn:    The bet is---I win, and you cook dinner for the entire family. Or you win, and I cook dinner for the entire family.

Richard:    It's a bet.
