Nov. 24th, 2005 02:10 pmI am more or less fascinated by the story in e.g. the Guardian and here
http://www.news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4457828.stm
about the guy who was told by his gym to cover up his hairy armpits. Aside from the aesthetofascism aspect of the situation, there is the bizarre lie involved in the statement that his sweat might damage the equipment.
I mean, who on earth designs gym equipment that could be damaged by sweat?
